This idea has been floated before and misses the point. It is quite simple to use RDAP to get the abuse contact email for anyone who has provided the info to their RIR. I do it all the time. The problem is that too many operators don't bother. If they don't tell the RIR, they are not likely to spend effort putting extra stuff in their rDNS.
