It might not be a button, but it is fairly obvious to me how it
works. It appears with every single email from the list I read.
Unfortunately most mail users don't have the first clue about the
tool they are using. <br>

My first guess at the cause of this would be that people signed up to
either Mozilla mailing lists or other Mozilla notifications (the
bugtracker?), either didn't realize it or got tired of receiving the
mails, and rather than go through the unsubscribe procedure they just
reported the mails as spam.
I have seen such "mark as spam instead of unsubscribing" behavior
reported with regard to mailing lists in the past; I don't recall
whether it was specifically Mozilla mailing lists, but it wouldn't at
all surprise me if it were happening here.

Try to find the unsubscribe button here, then you will understand why so many people do it.
The mailing list for Firefox ESR ('enterprise') was over several years full of unsubscribe requests, because there was no unsubscribe link. Not just no link in the emails, also none on the webpage of the mailinglist. Plus everybody who wanted just use the ESR version was pushed to subscribe to that mailinglist. So there were many people who did not want these emails.
Most mailing lists have unsubscribe info in the header, such that many email apps can add an unsubscribe button.
Most others have an unsubscribe link at the end of each email.
The emails from Mozilla mailing lists have neither. This was endlessly discussed in the ESR list, and it took years go get a halfbaked workaround implemented.
