The whole point of a PSD is to have a default policy for parts of the DNS tree where the superdomain has a relationship that lets it define policies for its registrants. The examples we've seen are the UK government which has a PSD for gov.uk, and the proposal to have one for .bank, which has all sorts of rules like you have to be a real bank. If you were doing a tree walk and the first DMARC record you find is a PSD, that's the policy you use. Why wouldn't you? I might look at the PSD flag to decide whether to send reports, but not whether to believe that it's the policy.
