The reason why SMTP requires to accept such stuff, AFAIUI, is to allow a

It was so, back in the days when mailservers were few and trustworthy
and before spammers and marketers arrived.
Now, it's a flag for a system that the operator cannot be bothered to
set up properly, or was never supposed to be sending mail at all
(and has been hijacked).
