These configurements do not signal "This person sends good emails", they signal "This server is what it says it is". I can load up barracuda right now and show you plenty of pornbots that have figured out how to put in a passing SPF record... as well as legitimate businesses that don't validate email addresses put into their marketing funnels.
Unfortunately, we are back to the age old question. How can we have an ecosystem where anybody can email anybody without it being taken over by spam?
