Cannot enable read receipts for group conversations

I have disabled the general setting to send read receipts.


I only enable it for individual conversations.


However, why can't I enable it for group conversations, for example with my mother and father?

Group conversations, even using iMessage (blue bubbles), don't support read receipts or typing indicators.
