Well, in reality it doesn't use PSL.

When my issues with deliverability to Google began a few years ago, I had no
DMARC record on my domain rafa.eu.org. It has been so since the beginning of
the domain and Gmail only used its "best guess" rule to indicate SPF pass
(as SPF record was not present as well).

At some time I noticed that Gmail started to indicate DMARC failure. I
checked and found out that the admins of parent eu.org domain put a DMARC
record on it, which caused emails from my domain rafa.eu.org (not from the
parent eu.org) to fail DMARC check.

But... eu.org is on the PSL! So, if DMARC check did actually use the PSL to
determine the organizational domain, it would have determined that
rafa.eu.org *is* the organizational domain itself and it shouldn't check
anything above it. It wasn't the case, however.

So at least one (and important one, given the size of this mail service)
implementation of DMARC does not use the PSL.
