I would argue recruiters sending me mass generic emails for job offers only partially related to my field is, in fact, spam.

Agreed, but that's on the recruiters, not on the platform.

"I'll give this guy your name, contact info, and everything else I have about you, and I take no responsibility that he won't call you in the middle of the night or visit your house. All good here, yeah?" - LinkedIn

Motherfucker, if LinkedIn were one of my friends, he'd get punched every time a recruiter contacted me despite me setting my options as "not looking for jobs atm". I want you to point out the exact LinkedIn fuck whose job it is to get punched for this instead, please and thank you.

Wow, ok. Ignoring your apparent refusal to potential salary improvements, you can always turn off notifications, hibernate your account, close your account, or filter emails from LinkedIn, if it's such a big deal to you.
