So why do they accept insane HELO parameters?
from their own customers you mean? Because that's where the money

No, I don't mean from their own customers. I mean external mail. Arguably,
internal mail clients shouldn't have to have a valid HELO. Since they
are internal, the spec can be relaxed to "whatever works".
I have found that big ISPs will reject external mail for lack of rDNS, but will
happily accept garbage for HELO.
