Users could still add political senders to a personal block list, right? It seems very sensible to say that emails that are from the prevailing legal authority should not be filtered as spam (i.e. digital junk mail) by default.

This fits with my experience so I believe it! That said, I did feel like the bionic rendering made me more likely to read every word as opposed to skimming sentences. It also made reading feel more "percussive" which can be fun. D
