That is a problem for the anti-spam algorithms that need to figure out who will consider what to be spam.
Spam is in the eye of the recipient. If you send me marketing emails that I do not want, it is spam. Even if someone else would want it.
If people didn't mark stuff as spam, then there would be absolutely no reason for marketing people not to send spam to everyone. Even if only one person in 10,000 wants to read it, why not? But the option of marking stuff as spam is a way of making my attention as not free for you.
