Well from my experience when I subscribed to this list as new user, I
started with the digest (with gmail) intending to only passively read
rather than respond. But when I felt I had responses to contribute, I
switched from a digest to regular emails.

So maybe in the modern context the motivation behind a digest has evolved.
