Greylisting only affects the first time a sender/receiver pair sends you a message, and then only every 31 days if they haven't refreshed the 'seen timer'.
As far as emails I receive, 99% are from people I've corresponded with and sometimes when I'm on the phone and they say, I just sent you my contact information, it is a little disconcerting the first time to have to wait 5-10 minutes.
I know spammers have my email address. I don't want to have to waste the time looking through the spam folder any more than I have to. The way it is now, I have a high probability that every email in my inbox is an actionable email, and I'm not stuck shuffling through a junk folder.
But, you do have a very good point regarding one of the downfalls from greylisting.
