Why?

Because in the past people have complained about having too many places to keep track of discussions (and this goes in both directions; some people don't read email regularly while others live in their inbox). Since we are promoting/pushing folks to use discuss.python.org it means this mailing list starts to feel like more of a burden/excess.

Californian firms won't let their employees use an unmoderated
forum for fear of liability: OK, so be it. But that's no reason to force
other people to use tools they dislike.

We are just saying that we may, as a team, not want to be the people providing a mailing list for folks to use to discuss Python development. Or at the very least not make it feel like a requirement for core devs to monitor this mailing list like it has been in the past. If people choose to keep using email then they can choose to do so on their own, just like IRC or any other place people chat.

Or at least setting up an auto-responder

Just put a line in the list signature stating that discussions requiring
core-dev attention should happen on discourse, and be done.
