Blocking (or throttling) port 25 only guarantees that SMTP servers

Please explain why I would want my mail swerver to accept mail on
other ports, given that it's almost certainly spam (because it's only
sent on those ports because the sending machine has port 25 blocked
because its ISP doesn't think it should be sending email directly).

If you want to go out of your way to accept spam, be my guest.  I
don't think most of the rest of us will.
