I suspect at least some of the offenders don't realize they have NTP
clients at all and thus have no such belief. Unless you consider the
offender in such cases to be the vendor rather than the end user....

That's not quite true, actually. If the misbehaviour is egregious
enough for individual pool hosts to notice it in isolation, they can
act against it in isolation. For example, any IP address that sends
packets to my ntpd too fast for too long will get router-blocked at my
border. ("Too fast for too long" has a precise definition which would
require too many words to be worth bothering with here.)
