The lists reject HTML emails entirely, and most mail clients don't make the choice between sending plain-text and HTML emails obvious (if they offer it at all)

Ideally, mailing lists would make some effort to keep the plain text content in HTML emails rather than just throw it away. If lynx can render full pages in a console, surely we can degrade HTML down to plain-text without too much effort.

Rejecting people who have not taken the time to setup their email client is tradition, but not very helpful.

It trades unhelpfulness between the new submitter and the existing list members; HTML emails are blocked for a reason.
