And the security is weaker than it should be because the SPF, etc records are unauthenticated.

That's not how security works. In the real world, security is in part a resource allocation problem. We spend resources to raise the cost of an attack over the threshold a model attacker would pay. There is a reason nobody gives enough of a shit to sign SPF records, and you can start to see it by taking the time to track down all the incident reports where someone exploited cache poisoning to override SPF.
