Not for academic experience, but to encourage people to fix their broken
filters. And while renumbering a large network might be non-trivial,
changing the IP or adding an IP alias on 13 individual servers should be
a trivial operation.

100% uptime for the service, not for each individual server.
So now the 69/8 holders, in addition to driving a campaign to get others
to fix their networks, should offer free hosting to porn sites? How about
free hosting for spamvertized sites?...oh wait, that might make the
problem worse :)
