I guess I'm a little confused about the false policy concern.

If a signer wants to take that risk, isn't that for them to decide?

Also, if the usual strategy of a verifier is to bounce (or be
encouraged to bounce) the offending email, a "I sign all" sender will
almost always know about delivery failures of originally signed
traffic and be able to act accordingly.
