This morning I saw eight spam messages from google, so perhaps I agree spamhaus with believing that possibly google could do more about their spamming customers.

I assume we can all agree that we want Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft to do a better job at controlling the sewage leak from their networks.
That being said, one page I'm looking at says that "Gmail has over 1.8 million users worldwide as of 2024."
Playing with the math, if they block 99.9% of the crap that comes out of their network, that's still 1.8 thousand users worth of crap.
How hard is it for a university (that is still hosting their own email) to get 99.9% of crap filtered outbound (or even inbound).
IMHO the email oligarchs are so big that even if they do orders of magnitude better at filtering than we do, they will still produce orders of magnitude more crap than we do.
The same page says "More than 121 billion emails are sent every day through Gmail."  Those numbers are approaching five orders of magnitude bigger numbers than listed above.
I'm not a Google apologist.  I've been anti-Google for a LONG time.  But the numbers just aren't in anyone's favor that's trying to stem the tide of crap coming from Google.
