What we already do know is that many people use "report as spam" when

Not entirely because of that. At least some of them do not draw a
distinction between spam and other unwanted email.
I agree. But nobody with a single button is capable of making that
distinction when reporting. I find it a hard distinction to make on
Twitter, but I still try. It's an important point to consider when
responding to the reports.
Of course, these are probably the same people who use "hack" as a
transitive verb in the passive voice. But a substantial fraction of
the MUA market is made up of them, so any plan that includes
substantial market penetration has to take them into account.
