Spam is 100% a technical problem. Any "societal solution" will be orders of magnitude more expensive and less robust than technical solutions.

Yes, yes, it is quite expensive, though you'd find it would actually be quite more robust.
Snake oil salesmen were not created because of lax technical infrastructure. Spam is not a technical problem because scammers exist, it's a technical problem because the technology is what lets them reach you. The technology can then be amended so they can't reach you and spam is solved. I'm not purporting to solve scams, but to solve the technical mistakes that lets scammers spam you.
