How is it possible that gmail does not accurately diagnose whether emails claiming to be from paypal are authentic or not?

I just got a legitimate email from Paypal and it was put into my gmail spam folder.

Any email claiming to be from paypal but which is not really from paypal (easily identifiable by google based on a registered email server mechanism) should be deleted, not even put into my spam folder.

If gmail can't authenticate emails from paypal, god help them in trying to determine if other emails are legit or not.

There is so much spam these days that the number of false positives is increasing, and the spam folders are getting so large that it is not possible for me to review my spam folder anymore. Unfortunately, this means that we can no longer rely on legitimate email as being sent. So if I do not reply to your email to me, try calling me on the phone. :)
