But why should they? What good is served by allowing mailchimp to even just make it slightly harder for people they disagree with to express themselves?

  What good is served by forcing mailchimp to serve customers who would adversely affect the reputation of mailchimp?

    The good served by forcing mailchimp to serve all customers (except spammers) is precisely that then serving those customers would not adversely affect their reputation, anymore than it affects AT&T's reputation that their service is used by horrible people.

    If there was a common cultural idea generated of "blame the person, not the place that serves the content" then that would solve that issue. Personally, I see that we're currently heading away from that, and while we've never had it fully it still appears to be going towards the "blame the service provider" route.

      ESPs live and die by their delivery stats. Get enough people clicking “this is spam” (whether or not technically spam) and mailchimp is harmed. The question of “will google deliver my mail to a gmail inbox?” is the key one, not whether someone, given enough time to study the matter carefully, can intellectually determine that mailchimp acted ok.
