Instance owners are responsible for the content that is mirrored on their instance through federation, so they definitely should.

Responsible in what way?

Legally responsible, for one.

I.E. If a federated instance hosted pedophilia, that content would be copied to, and served by, your instance's infrastructure, which is obviously legally problematic.
