Oh no, they understand email very well. They're just arseholes who want to force "regular joe" and small business to use their services. This isn't some kind of accidental incompetence. There's no "whoops, sorry your mail isn't getting delivered, our bad!"-type situation going on. This is a deliberate strategy of making it as hard as possible for people to run their own mail servers.
Of course they hide behind the excuse that you might be a spammer. But given Google's massive resources, there's no way in hell they can't tell ham from spam.
