Let's step out of the echo chamber or petri dish or whatever.

If correctly forwarded it does not break SPF, since correctly

It's a nexus of control. The owner/operator of a mailing list has ultimate
control over the subscribers, the senders and recipients; there can be
legal action taken against them. You would protest mightily if someone
took one of your private (and implicitly copyrighted by you according to
international convention) emails and re-sent it to random people with your
sender line untouched. Of course you would protest if they forged the
sender line so as to be attributable to you.
And *why* in the first place we define "plain" forwarding, without SRS, as
"incorrect", and with SRS as "correct"? It's only from the SPF point of
view, ie. the first one doesn't work with SPF, while the second does.
It's only a matter of point of view.
The sender may have expectations, reasonable or not, regarding the
disposition of messages they send to a particular email address; arguably
that does include forwarding. See for example the legal warnings on emails
not for forward if you received them by "mistake".
Spammers say that a lot. Spammers generally believe "externalities are
someone else's problem to solve". That actor persona needs to be included
in your modeling of this problem space. Spamford became famous enough for
it to have his name changed for him by popular acclamation, so much for
choosing your own name if not pronouns.
Why do we drive on the right side or left side of the road? It's only a
point of view, but the convention matters for all users of the road so
your existential dissonance just is.
