This seems overly dismissive especially for individuals who send emails from custom domains at low volumes. DMARC has previously been seen to only be really needed for high-volume senders. The mail testing service linked still gives 10/10 for emails received without DMARC (but with SPF and DKIK). My email is setup via Fastmail and I followed all the recommendations they provided (which didn’t include DMARC)
Imagine that I deploy a site in HTTP-only, without TLS, and then complain "hey, why are browsers claiming that my site is insecure and showing some red padlock shenanigan, scaring my users away? Am I supposed to go around the Internet, checking what each browser considers 'secure' or not?"
