It’s calle Tragedy of Commons

One solution would be have a minimum payment or a trusted sponsor in order to register a new package. A minimum trust score through well-known community persons, or reduce spam by payments.
On the root cause why people suck is that different cultures and different people have different values. For many people making money by spamming is not an issue in their own internal value system. Thus, it is better to be tackled by making spam unprofitable.
