If I'm not mistaken, take the case of Facebook, refusing an email because you are not a friend of the recipient... Or the same error code could indicate SPF or DKIM or other protocol failure... Having the word DMARC in the text of the error message gives a lot of information for debugging a specific email. Consider also the error could be generated after a forwarder is trying to send an email... Without a proper hint of what is the reason of the reject it is very hard to know what really happened for a specific email.
