I think that's fine. If 20% of the emails from some company (let's say Paypal) are spam, then all email providers (especially Gmail, the largest provider) should mark ALL of their emails as spam by default until they stop spending spam. If they want to keep spamming, they can at least humiliate themselves by telling people to check their spam folders for their emails.
It proved not fine for me on an occasion of missing a service email and losing an account as a result.
If you lose an account due to negligence, it's on you, not the service provider.
Spam/junk folder is not "ignore" folder. You need to periodically check the contents of the spam/junk folder to see if any legitimate emails fell into that waste basket.
But the suggestion "get marked and reported as spam" can lead to future mails getting junked before even reaching the spam folder.

I would say the base problem is that said organization sent you spam and then disconnected you, rather than the spam filter.
The disconnection was the fault only of the spam filter hiding the service mail.
