It's very much a "honor system". If VoIP provider doesn't do due diligence, the other networks can't really check the value, especially since number porting became norm

For the first few dozen times sure, but after the hundredth or so report of a scam call associated with a spoofed number, the VoIP provider should be blocked by the telco. That is if they were allowed to do so.

"should" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that statement :)
