My understanding is that if `auth=dkim` then SPF would be ignored from the
perspective of DMARC. So  if a receiver sees DKIM is not DMARC aligned and
only SPF is DMARC aligned then it would still be treated as a DMARC fail.

That's my understanding.

It would be a way for senders to say "yes I checked that all my DKIM
signatures are working and aligned, I don't need you to look at SPF and
don't want to have the risk of SPF Upgrades.

So why do you publish an SPF record? Presumably so someone will accept your mail who wouldn't otherwise, except you just said they shouldn't. Still not making sense to me.
