No doubt some do validate the From: field.  Others merely mean "the

This is hard to grasp and conflicts with the DKIM base specification
which makes the 5322.FROM a fundamentally required binding hashed
entity in the DKIM signature manufacturing.

I don't know what you mean by "binding".  DKIM doesn't say From: has to contain 
any particular value, only that it has to be one of the signed fields.
