IMHO, the reason is, if nothing else, that this is how Mail mode behaved on a tty since v21.1, and users did not complain too loudly (or we would have changed that). I really don't think we should disable that fontification now just because you happen to dislike it. Perhaps all you need to do is play a bit with your colors. Failing that, here's a suggestion for a more complicated solution: define special faces for Mail mode, so that they could be customized without affecting general-purpose faces such as comment face. Then people who don't like fontified citations could disable that, but still have comments in program sources fontified as before. (Personally, I think that using a face meant for comments in a mail buffer is very far-fetched.)
