I don't know about "hope" but is it a tolerable cost if it helps
reduce spam? Maybe. How about a less expensive scenario where all MTAs
have to be upgraded rather than all clients? Is that an acceptable
cost?

If the reports that spam costs USD 8Billion per year are even close to
the truth, it strikes me that imposing an MTA upgrade to avoid much of
that recurring cost is a pretty small price to pay.
