Even the anti-spam army out there seem to ignore 'This is the abuse
contact', and end up spamming all whois org contacts. What's the point
in that?

I agree. Most of them end up blasting all contacts which is completely
stupid!!! That's why you see on the comment sections with many providers
something along the lines of "Please use Abuse Handle or please send
requests for DMCA to this handle"

Well, if the community actually did it's job so mail to abuse@ and postmaster@
and similar role addresses actually got delivered instead of bouncing, and
then actually did some good rather than being unread/ignored, maybe we wouldn't
have to rely on a DNS jockey listed in a SOA record being pissed off enough
at being cc'ed on an abuse mail to get a co-worker's butt in gear.

Just sayin'.
