A large part of the denial of service attacks are powered by providers and transit carriers that allow traffic to be spoofed from their networks. There are enough technical means and community understanding to identify  where the attacks are sourced but nothing seems to change.

Are those allowing spoofing and protecting spoof-based services as stress testers taking any reasonable precaution for those attacks not to happen?

Hosting and upstream providers route millions of packets per second with spoofed address. Looking to the other way seems a business strategy when it is done year after year. Leaving routers without proper filtering a convenient feature to attract certain actors.

In Spoof IT, we believe that it has come to a time where creative actions are needed and attackers and their shameless supporters need to be exposed.
