Because, honestly, there are so many false positives concerning DKIM
signatures (mailinglists adding their signature to the body, servers
reencoding subjects, etc.) nobody gives a fsck about this.

I won't find it surprising if Chase's botched DKIM signature has been
going on for some time, somebody (like you) noticed it, sent a mail to
Chase's IT department, got no reply and thought "ah, what the hell" and
that's the end of the story.

If your reasoning is "this is a multi-billion dollar company, the surely
will know what they are doing", then you will have a really bad day,
believe me.
