Exercise for the reader: why aren't spammers using the @ibm.com

You provided the answer before the question.
Somewhat.  Because spammers _are_ using @ibm.com too.  I got samples ;-)

Ok, but it's trivial to reject them after checking SPF.

Don't need to.  They're all being rejected by either "no such user" or
the spam filter rejects.

SPF isn't worth the cycles nor bandwidth (in this environment at least)
to catch the rare SPF -all.

<http://spf-all.com/>

There are a few prime domains that publish -all records.
