Actually, this was one of my worries, when the abuse-c stuff was designed, that having this (mandatory) attribute would send the (confusing) message to the "user", that there's an obligation to react (and respond) to each and every piece of incoming mail.
Even more worrying, that the NCC would be seen as "responsible" to manage those things.
Alas, this is definitely outside the scope of the NCC's responsibilities, just as it is outside the NCC's responsibility to assure, that every IP address that is listed in the registry has to be accessible, with each type of packets, from every other endpoint on the Internet.
Just as there are filters out there, for packets, there are lots of filters and policies around, what to do with (different types, from different sources of) incoming mail.
Just as an explanation and not as supporting (perceived) (C) violations.
