It usually is a footer, not a header, in my personal experience, these companies don’t want the word “unsibscribe” put in your head until they are done trying to reel you in with other things. It would be asinine to put it as a header.
Also, the unsibscribe feature in Gmail is not the same as reporting as junk/spam, which Gmail still allows as an option.
Unsubscribe option attempts to use the email address as you’ve already mentioned. The spam and junk flag automatically moves mail from those addresses into your junk folder. These are not the same things.
Sorry, I meant a header as in where the things like the subject line, servers it was sent via, etc. are stored. It’s a part of the email that isn’t user-visible. The unsubscribe email isn’t visible to the user unless you view the raw source of the email, but email clients can use it.
I know marking as spam isn’t the same as unsubscribing. Gmail is trying to suggest unsubscribing instead of marking as spam which is reasonable (why mark it as spam when you could just unsubscribe and never get it in the first place?)
You mark it as spam so that Google can add it to the metrics and stop allowing that account to spam everyone. If you just unsubscribe it only benefits you. If you flag it as spam it benefits everyone using the service.
