I'm afraid reality disagrees with you - there already are networks doing it.
Being big does not guarantee you ability to do Bad Things.
I didn't imply that it did. But the ability to block without causing significant collateral damage becomes more and more difficult as IPs become less tied to the organization using them. That said, you're right that people are doing it now. Consensus from friends running their apps on EC2 is that you can't expect to be able to send any email from EC2 and hope for a high deliverability rate.
