They do. And there are already quite a few dedicated B2B spammers taking

If this happened they'd be losing those who don't want to use the web
interface for mail.
Maybe this issue could be fixed by allowing users to set up IPs or
ranges that they explicitly allow SMTP auth connections from and block
everyone else, per user. Of course that would actually drive people to
upgrade their mail away from freemail providers, which I doubt they'd
want to do.
Solve the problem vs lose ad revenue, hmmmmm....
