That's the problem.  What's special about the From: line?

It's what all receiving MUAs show.

Sender, the smtp sender and so on may be shown, From is universally shown.

Which is exactly why, if you expect send-on-behalf to work in any sort of
meaningful way, it is essential that you allow From: field overrides.

And as for the importance of send-on-behalf-of, it is not at all uncommon for
us to see support for it as a client requirement.
