And why would one bother to do that?

DMARC is for attempting to determine if a third-party Domain Owner has
authorized the use of its domain in the RFC5322.From header in mail that is
inbound to me.

Mail inbound to my mail server that has an RFC5322.From domain that is
either "localhost" or "localhost.localdomain" and is from an external
source is clearly mail from an at-best misconfigured or unconfigured mail
server, and should be rejected out of hand simply because of that fact;
DMARC has no role to play here.
