Spam is a problem on centralized social networks also--and they have advertisements, which are really just well-organized spam.
To the extent that this problem is email-specific, the ultimate root cause is a failure to deploy DMARC. Any new federated system will require a DMARC/SPF-like mechanism for preventing request forgery.

In part because email addresses are largely hidden. In part because not a whole lot of people would notice if their scam mail come from webmaster@somerandomsite.example.net instead of from their bank.
