Grandma will move to another ISP which either doesn't check, or doesn't
publish, SPF. Maybe they'll be doing DK or something else which doesn't
throw away as much valid mail, but it won't be SPF.
She will move to a domain recommended by one of her relatives, and that
will be a domain that has no problems getting the world to accept its
mail. I'm not sure if that domain will be using SPF or DK. Either way,
the lazy ISP loses her business, and a reputable ISP gets it.
If I were a reputable ISP using SPF, I would deal promptly with any report
that my mail was rejected. I would not put the burden on Grandma.
