You don't get it

What you are missing is that if a mandate were applied that caused all emails to have signed keys, that would require the bots to follow suit or simply get shunted by ISPs that could follow guidelines for handling mail which doesn't have signed cryptographic enclosures.

Moreover, a bot cannot sign your email for you, which defeats the bot's ability to forge the sender's email address. Get it? Come on. Have you used GnuPG?

Cryptographic measures such as PGP, GnuPG work.

Add to that the fact that everyone is entitled to the basic right to privacy and you kill two birds with one stone.
