That's true for actual spammers (i.e. if they buy your address from a list and so on) but not for legitimate companies. Both examples I gave are real companies that I signed up for. I'm pretty sure if I managed to unsubscribe they would honor it.

No I have many examples in my mailbox from major companies.

Can you name and shame them, like I did?

Looking at my spam folder: Air France, freelancer.com, Addison Lee, Pluralsight, etc. I gave up playing whack a mole with unsubsubribe links that never get honored. I now filter emails automatically by domain name and/or keyword (for the companies that got my email before I switched to this alias system).
