The idea of SPF being easy to for people to publish, even if it makes

CallerID, not SPF.

I think it is clear that Meng made the right trade off here and that
using TXT records, a simple language that could be easily created and
checked by hand was key to the success of SPF over those other
systems.

How does using tools for checking against security limits conflict with 
easy deployment?

Do you really think that people like to count DNS lookups against the 111 
limit "by eye" for any but the most trivial cases?  Would that limit 
become "un-SPF-ish" and should be removed as soon as using an automatic 
checker becomes more convenient than counting by eye?

Sorry, I can't follow your argument.
