I have a much bigger issue with "legitimate" spam these days. Every service makes you give an email address, and they all force you to check a box allowing them to email you whatever they want. Then if they even have an "opt out" link, it takes you to a list of 500 different types of notifications and forces you to opt out of each one individually.

Usually I will just disable the iCloud hide-my-email I used for a site, but sometimes there are legitimate emails mixed in with the stream of crap. I opted out of marketing emails from my credit card company, and now they instead send me emails asking me to re-evaluate my email preferences...

It would be nice to see more done to fix this, but I guess it doesn't make anyone money. I guess I'll just have to use AI to filter signal from noise.
