Agreed, but given that Gmail has 900 million users [1], I can allow Google some slack on this.

According to your initial description, you are likely not hosting any mailing lists on your domain, so DMARC's problems in this area don't apply to you. That being said, you may have an objection to DMARC *in principle* because of its known problems with mailing lists, and therefore refuse to implement it on your own domains. That's your choice of course, but the fact is that very large ESPs including Yahoo, Microsoft, and Google [2] are all using it extensively, and your deliverability percentages will almost certainly be better with it enabled. Plus you can get great feedback on deliverability and your domain's mail origination points. For example, I identified a few little misconfigurations of various smartphones and such after implementation on my domains. Personally I think DMARC is pretty good because it enables feedback loops for everyone, rather than just those players big enough to arrange private back-channels with ESPs.
