Different viewpoint:
I pay $5 + Taxes (WTF?) for an droplet with DigitalOcean I pay $7,5 for a VPS with Hostwinds
Someone has to get the abuse mail, check where to send them and then make this issue as solved. From an economic standpoint this is a shitty idea. I cost them more than I pay. Even if we exclude the trouble with blocked IP ranges and the other stuff.

PS: Yes, the Tor wiki says: Get your own IP with your own data so the ISP is not involved. That's easier said than done.

reality is many sites will not block Tor traffic but will send (automated) abuse mails over and over and over again.
True, sadly. And like you said it is their right not to block Tor based traffic. But it is your right not to heed their ongoing complaints and sabre-rattling, like it is your right to voluntarily update your exit policies. My point is that none of these choices requires your ISP to spend time, money or even thought on the issue, all that is required is passing it along to the Tor operators.
