Can only speculate -- but perhaps they continually train some spam detecting ML model and swap them out every few weeks. Wondering if there are some hidden regressions or something to that effect which are evading the new model. Wouldn't surprise me if they originally started with a rule-based engine and are A/B testing ML models for it instead now.
