I suppose I was operating under the assumption it would work like your email inbox. You technically still receive the spam, it's just shuffled away to a corner of the UI that you don't have to look at unless you are looking for a particular email that may have been sent to your spam folder. In the same way, your inbox relays would still store DMs from potential spammers (with maybe an auto-delete after a certain amount of time?) but you just wouldn't see them in your client's UI unless you specifically went looking for them.
That said, you are right that making it a policy that the user's inbox relays enforced entirely would mean that the inbox would look much the same in all clients, NIP-04 vs NIP-17 notwithstanding. The user just wouldn't have an option to browse the potential spam received for possible legitimate communications, since the relay would presumably be rejecting those messages.
