I think it's because, when you implement most protocols, if your end is
broken then you can't even talk to the other end.  With ADSP, if your
end is broken then you can still talk SMTP and even sign with DKIM, but
the other end may silently discard your message.  There's no feedback.

About 90% of the email sent to my personal email address ends up in a
Gmail junk mail folder, that I never check. There's no feedback there,
either.

As far as SMTP is concerned, that mail was successfully delivered.


huh? The complaint is that the message is silently discarded somewhere 
downstream, and the sender gets no feedback. How can it matter what the 
technical means of achieving this are?
