Only inasmuch as people don’t *actually* want to take the steps needed to 
solve the problem.  The UDP was a rare thing, but cutting off hostile 
networks should be one of the first steps in eliminating abuse.

On the contrary, it is almost trivially easy.  The only real problem is 
that binary groups got some people upset right around the time that 
broadband was exploding.  While it can certainly be argued that encoded 
multipart binaries are not the best way to deal with large data files, the 
RFCs haven’t been updated in something like 25 years.  Consequently, 
neither have many of the clients, and that’s where 99% of the work has to 
be done to support non-text messages.

Do people not know how to use search engines anymore?  It’s Usenet.  It’s 
been around for ages.  The only thing that makes it tough to find is that 
it’s not being shoved down your throat by advertisers.
