Agreed.  I've found a number of things in my Gmail Spam folder of late
that I _should_ have gotten (newsletters I've subscribed to, some but
not all messages of mailing lists I'm subscribed to, one order for a
laser-cut thingamabob... stuff I _want_ to see!)

I checked today - out of ~350 messages in SPAM, I returned 7 to my
inbox from the aforementioned desirable message categories.  That's
2%.  I'm going to have to check every couple of weeks now.
