Huh DKIM is for what then? Not sure what it was created for then? Why do
we bother to implement? 

DKIM makes it easier to identify the actual sender of a message.  In
practice, its likely utility will be to recognize mail from people you
trust so it can bypass the filters.  As a sufficient fraction of real
mail is recognized, you can crank up the filters on what's left.

I am surprised that any of this would be news to people who'd been
following the discussion here in recent months.
