A number of those contributing to the discussion are registrars and 
web-hosts, who deal every day with abuse issues, so very much are the 
people who deal with "solving this problem" (and are also those telling 
you that WHOIS data contributes to abuse against real-people rather than 
abstracts)

Some registrars have offered this for years, although now ICANN thinks 
it should control/set policy/tax that kind of service it may not remain 
'free' for long, and certainly isn't free to the registrar to provide 
(and still leaves the GDPR issue over escrow outstanding)
