I guess LinkedIn messages are easier for lazy/busy people that need to contact lots of people.

If I get a direct email that is definitely not based on a template means that that person a) found my mail and b) spent some time on the process, so I usually reply as courtesy.

I applaud your approach, although I think it's difficult to get noticed in a noisy channel and LinkedIn messages are overused.
