One of the things many of us have that some do not, is a high speed
connection; to those that are bound to a phone line and modem, wasting
time just for downloading SPAM is irritating enough. Add to that the
rest of the reasons why SPAM is illegal, and you have more irritation
that those who have a high bandwidth connection.
While an IMAP account might be better than the old POP3 in this respect,
most ISPs that offer modem lines do not offer pop3, leaving the folks on
low bandwidth connections trapped into wasting time downloading stuff
they are uninterested in rather than just the headers and making
"delete" decisions at that point.
Perhaps we can accept this irritation as "reasonable" for some people to
feel? I do...
