You're assuming good faith and while I am not questioning yours, the added friction for spammers who aren't engaging in good faith to have to email with a personal message serves as enough additional friction to disuade casual spammers. At a guess, anyway. I don't work here and aren't privy to any internal information. So, sorry to say, but no, I personally wouldn't support that.

I agree, though there could be a ban status that distinguishes scammers from healthy community members.
