How about reframing to "Is spam getting harder to filter?"

No one at google wants spam.

>"Is spam getting harder to filter?"

I look at it a different way, spam and filters are locked in an evolutionary arms race and at the moment spammers have found an adaptation gives them an advantage. In due time the anti-spam filters will adapt as well. It has always been a difficult problem.

Customers don't care. Due to Google's behaviors I assume some or many people do not agree with the sentiment "no one at Google wants spam."

What benefit does Google have for letting spam through?
