Me too, why not do it this way?
I wish to encourage conversations I am interested in (or I otherwise enjoy / appreciate). Bothering to write a reply in good faith is nice.
Also, internet points are a worthless, sham, game-ification trick thing.

Using upvotes to indicate "I've replied to you" is also going to be drowned out by noise because a poster has no way to know who has upvoted therefore no way of distinguishing your "I've replied to you" upvote from a regular user who upvoted their reply because it was informative/useful.
While I fully agree, it works well enough as is :)
