The problem is provisioning software. We weenies can stuff anything

provisioning software at their registrar or ISP or web host supports,
and I challenge you to find any that supports SPF records.
Er, so? If the tool to bundle up the needed bits for SPF-as-text and
SPF-as-binary are similarly trivial, why should we care if people who want to
use a feature of the Internet can't persuade their provider to make a trivial
change.
Soon, y'all will be saying we should give up on DNSSEC because so few
registrars support it in their web UIs.
