Because read messages are read messages.   :-)

Between unread, read, ticked and dormant, I find that I have all I need.

This is what I use the dormant mark for.

I use the tick mark for articles that I have seen, but need to do
something with.

For all of my normal mail groups, I use nnml.  It is the fastest
backend for opening large groups.

I use total-expiry.  Read articles will eventually be deleted.

For me, unread articles are unread.  Ticked messages still require
some action from me.

Right, and sometimes that is what you want.  If you want to move
between articles regardless of readedness, use N and P.
