I was mystified about exactly the same thing. How does it know someone put the mail in a folder?
But I finally read up on DMARC and p=reject.
I¡¯m glad to help with a Wiki page on this. It certainly is a frequently asked question.

It is not a stupid question. In fact it is one that Mark has struggled with.

That's exactly right. The reason is a concern that if were to continue sending messages to that address then the email service provider might "punish" by (more frequently) relegating other members' messages to their spam boxes.
The key thing to remember is that this only happens because the member's email service provider went to the trouble to specifically notify that the message(s) had been marked as spam. Other email services (such as Gmail) don't notify senders of such markings, so their users never get unsubscribed this way.
