Sigh.  I have my differences with the people who designed DMARC but
they are not stupid and they really do understand the relevant RFCs.
Some of them even wrote some of those RFCs.

The reason they look at the From: line is that's the one recipients
see.  The Sender: header was a nice idea but in practice, it's not
useful.
