Reply-All Email Mistake Leads to Teacher's Dismissal at Marist College Ashgrove

Home of the bin chicken. Visit our friends:
I would strongly suggest that if you're trying to organise something in that way, email is a woefully incorrect tool to be using for it. Use a group chat like Slack or Teams.
The fact that there are some cases where reply all is appropriate absolutely does not excuse it being the default.
Tell that to consultant jobs where consultant teams and client teams communicate all over email. I agree with you but this is the reality we live in.
Also,
I don't really see the benefit of having reply single as the default. It avoids fuckups like this one, but as stated, I would never say something like this over email.
It would also stop the far-too-common experience of someone replying all when they meant to only send it to one person, annoying and causing distraction to the possibly hundreds of other people included on the original email.
