I'm not OK with my address being spoofed. But I'm not OK with the
breakage that SPF introduces either. So I implement some of the better
forgery-prevention techniques instead of SPF. It's certainly not
ignorance or apathy.
That way when the internet finally snaps into two, a well managed side
and a free-for-all, everybody will know which side you're on.
Well-managed is how I'd describe some of the other anti-forgery
techniques. SPF is just part of the free-for-all, throwing the baby out
with the bathwater just because it seemed like a good idea at the time.
