DMARC helps establish a verified identity.  Delivery is based on 
reputation.  The two are very different. 

Unwanted mail with DMARC validation will be blocked on the same basis is 
unwanted mail without it.

But a verified identity is helpful for ensuring that wanted mail is not 
blocked.

There is no vulnerability created by DMARC.

Yes. When bad actors (your choice of words) can work around an aspect of
the specification that is depended upon to enable differential handling
by a receiving filtering engine (again your choice of words), that is a
vulnerability.
