Bad/undesired decisions don’t require blatant corruption. This seems a simple case of poor incentives. If an ISP does egress filtering well, essentially no one notices. If they screw it up, customers lose connectivity and some portion of those customers will likely leave for a competitor. There’s risk with no reward.
