I think you might not be thinking expansively enough, it allows more
flexibility to do spam filtering in multiple places. Different lists
will have different definitions of what is an unwanted message. On the
Debian lists we don't want anything about shares, liquidity and
financial instruments, but some economists will find messages about
source code and copyright law unwanted on their lists. A list for
pharmacists will probably want to accept messages containing
usually-spammy keywords. A generic mailing-list-hoster hosting all 3
of those will want to allow most mail and add per-list filters.
