It's simply a fact these days that people find backscatter and misdirected bounces annoying. In many cases they end up at a forged address that had nothing to do with the original transaction. A well behaved receiver will make decisions during the SMTP transactions with appropriate response codes. It should never accept and generate a message later.
Well, its also about the fact that if one engages in such behavior, one will quickly find one's mailserver/IP address on numerous blacklists that are a pain to get off of, IF you can get off of them.
Merely a reinforcement by the people who find backscatter unacceptable directed at people who can't take a hint. ;)
