How about commercial anonymous re-mailers? You can certainly operate one without running a relay. Have the people using the re-mailer send mail to a specific address. WRT commercial gateways, I'd argue that the specific use would determine whether or not an open relay would be of any benefit. I'd need details about a specific case before I'd argue that you're right or wrong.
