...and what exactly are you basing this misguided opinion on?

If your goal is to see that registrars *don't* spend a dime enforcing  
practice and policy, I'm certain that I can find you at least a dozen  
registrars accounting for at least 90% of market share that would be  
happily to dismantle the anti-crime and anti-abuse teams that they  
have put together to help deal with the problems.
I know for a fact that the money we spend on anti-crime/anti-abuse  
initiatives could be invested in things that provide better short- 
term commercial rewards - however we keep pouring money into ensuring  
that we're part of the solution because it creates a better long term  
environment for everyone.
Do you even own a domain?
