Perhaps because at least some people don't know about RFC2606 (and they
don't know RFC1918 as well, come to think of it) means and send spam
complaints to IANA?
Like for example

> * Are they breaking anti-UCE filters by doing this? (yes)
What filter are you trying to use? and what spam did you see that
forged example.* in the sender envelope / rDNS?
> * Will they next advertise routes for RFC 1918 addresses?
