That's how it's supposed to work (provided that those hosts are in fact the
*only* genuine hosts), so I fail to see what's so idiotic about it. Before
rejecting mail that fails the check you of course have to allow for the case
that the recipient has set up a forwarding from elsewhere to your server.
Failure to do that indicates a fundamental misunderstanding of SMTP on the
receiver's part, not on the part of the publisher of the SPF record.
