You're not totally wrong. But this isn't "the public", it's just bots. For the same reason I wouldn't want to get chased around by buskers demanding tips every time I visited the park, I don't want my feed inundated with CamGirl amounts every time I log on.
The cam girl problem is simultaneously more difficult to solve (because there's such a low barrier to entry) and an easier one (because you typically have a handful of bad actors churning out the bulk of the spam). But since there's no profit on policing public spaces, BSKY's already paper thin budget isn't earmarking anything to address is.
