I have to agree with some of your comments about thunderbird, and some
of the quirks introduced over time are a pain, but I currently manage
some 25Gb of email traffic going back 20 years and thunderbird is the
only client that does not complain as well as providing fast local searches.

What we do perhaps need is a more concerted effort to engage with
developers like he thunderbird team and explain why some choices do
cause problems. My own pet hate currently is I think related to your
'ignored thread'. If I have messages threaded, but hide some then the
'nice feature' that handles then as a group simply fails to display
properly ... but here is not the place to be complaining :)
