If it was just the occasional small site it would not be such a problem, but even iCloud (Apple) and Outlook (Microsoft) get it wrong with some regularity from hosts that check all the right boxes.
This doesn't change the problems of unreliable email because mail services are too aggressive, unfortunately.
We recently got a bounced mail (not dumped in a spam folder, actively rejected) from a major university, telling us that the message looked like unsolicited bulk mail. The message was sent directly to a specific single customer in response to a purchase they had just made, contained information that we were required by law to provide to them, and was sent from a reputable host with things like SPF properly set up. That is simply broken, and it is 100% the fault of the mail service admins at the university.
