You can forward the spam if you use a forward filter rule, I recently
debugged an issue with an escape due to that as the starting point.

Fundamentally, at the lower end of the spam spectrum, people disagree on
what's spam and our rules make mistakes, the spam label is fundamental to
knowing that.  Not forwarding spam, if the user never checks the spam
folder, means data loss and lack of learning.

It is a balancing act against the spammers who are happy to get the
.0000001% rate of a spam folder, but that's the mail space.
