Why whould they start to care about their RR zones?

There are six reasons:
1) it helps them reduce spam
   a) it is one of the easiest systems they can get
   b) it is one of the cheapest systems they can get
2) there is a RFC that says they should
3) It will reduce the costs of the abuse department, as 5000 braindead
   admins with misconfigured workstations can't cause too much trouble
   anymore and the complaints will become reports.
4) there is now a reason to care

The arguments of the no RR fraction have always been "we don't do it
because it is of no use" and "besides that there is no RFC that says we
have to".
None of that will be true afterwards.
