Because it is abused and there is no recourse for the recipient.
The fact is that 99% of email sent from DHCP addresses is SPAM! If you want
to run a mailserver then do it properly!
The same way there are laws as to what you can drive on the roads in
whatever country you live in. Why don't we all drive go karts as they would
be cheaper and the roads are designed to allow it :)
