Terrible idea. No matter how much time it would save me, I do not want “my” computer doing any work designed to snitch on me.

This protocol is designed to not send any data that can be used to identify you directly or fingerprint your identity.

It's designed to gatekeep access to the Internet. This is a company's solution to a problem caused by the same company and we are all forced to participate.

As far as I understand, the problem is caused by massive networks of malware ridden computers and bots.

The problem is caused by other peoples reactions to computers and bots. Bots are the servers problem, not mine, my machine should not be involved in solving it. Same reason I block ad/tracking scripts, it's no my responsibility to ensure other peoples advertising contracts are upheld, that's their problem, if they can't solve it without involving me, too bad.

That seems like saying that DDoS is the server's problem and that it doesn't affect you and that the issue is the server's response to bad actors, not the bad actors.

Like DDoS, bots become the problem of all users when they slip through.

Fair enough to disagree with the mitigation strategy. I suppose most web services wouldn't care to differentiate you from a bot.
