How is that relevant to anything?

The purpose of SPF is to provide a way for those with their own domain to 
specify where valid email may originate from tha domain.

That's a silly question/comment.

Having no SPF record simply means the domain registrant/hostmaster either 
doesn't know or care about SPF.

All it means in practice is that one advisory data point is not available 
to those considering whether to accept the email.
