I think it's a little unfair to chalk this up to an assumption. Most of the bagged spinach that I can purchase at the supermarket comes labeled as "Washed & Ready to Eat" [1]. Whether that's true or not - and whether you prefer to wash your spinach anyway - is of course up to you. But it's explicitly labeled as safe.
