Learnings from having Mailchimp ask me to kindly leave.

  Sounds like there should be some recalibration of those figures for small lists. Typical on-target mailouts for small businesses (1000-3000) are usually accompanied by at least a couple opt-outs based on the content no longer being relevant / changed interests, but I'd hardly call the list spam.

  There is something strange in this story. Despite the double opt-in nature of mailing list subscription, it may not have been clear enough that ebook == mailing list. Perhaps some of the people didn't want to subscribe to the mailing list after all,

    Yes, that's what I thought. They were told "Sign up for our mailing list and get a free ebook" in the text. The header was "Ebook - [title]". And then a big email input box with a submit button. But after that, they still had to double-confirm their subscription by clicking on an email link sent by Mailchimp.
