Spammers have currently defeated SHAKEN/STIR. A signed call is more likely to be a robocall than not a robocall. This is thanks to shady phone companies that will sign calls for anyone or intentionally cater to scammers. https://transnexus.com/blog/2022/shaken-statistics-september... This is like when DKIM was first being deployed spammers adopted it first.

But once enough people lodge complaints about these calls the shady company will shape up or get their keys revoked, right?

It significantly increases their costs though. As in the parent ruling here, a shady phone vendor that doesn't take steps to prevent spammers they will no longer be able to route calls to the US.
