Segregated relays also don't protect from spam (not more than general-purpose ones).
The issue you mention seems about the global feed. I think it's almost bound to be shit, but it can be addressed via hashtags.

Segregation splits content flows and makes them workable, clients can mix them for the user. It doesn't stop spam it makes it easier to make a first step of narrowing things down.
Hashtags don't split the flow, they just help you track something you're interested in.
We're asking users to drink from the sewer (from the outsider perspective) and then telling them to use a filter straw.
Users need to be able to find the likeminded crowd as a starting point. then get to know people, pick and choose, find hashtags they want to pay attention to, etc. none of that is going to happen if the startingpoint is a firehose of people who are all about some thing that you don't vibe with. They're just going to leave.
No, the issue here is *purely political*. The word "segregation" itself speaks volumes.
