Agreed.

To give a specific example:

The mobile mail client I use (K-9 Mail) will either display friendly name or 
email address.  Due to the compact user interface, both isn't an option.

There's one Google Group I'm a member of with a number of users with DMARC 
p=reject domains, so their addresses are rewritten to the list address.  As a 
result, when people don't bother to say who they are in a message, I end up 
digging through the message header to find out who wrote it.

This is not a good user experience.  It's not salvageable.
