That's not how I characterize the spam folder, at least at the operators
where I have mailboxes.  It's more like: "We have reason to believe this is
spam or otherwise illegitimate.  We will silently set it aside and
automatically discard it in X days, unless you come looking for something
you feel might've been miscategorized and rescue it."

That's different from telling the user to figure it out, which I take to
mean something more like an ongoing and fairly constant filter training
exercise.

Of course, this only highlights again that different receivers will treat
DMARC's output in whatever way suits them.
