I was surprised about this ratio (and the fact that it seems to work for them), too.
I could imagine that a large percentage of lurkers and a maybe more reasonable community than other platforms could be helping factors?
My mastodon account is on a kind of small instance, and I’d love to be able to report posts directly to the originating instance, without also reporting it to “my” admin. I just don’t wasn’t then to waste their time locally blocking a clear spam account, that should (and usually will be) removed by the originating instance in a couple hours.

I am afraid, that removal of spam account does not necessarily federate to another instance. On Mastodon activities federate mainly to instances an account, which made/edited/deleted the post, is followed from. (Or an instance can subscribe to relay, which exchanges all activities between all participating instances).
Report always landing to your admin may be something good in light of this…
