Because it's ethically wrong and would backfire horribly. Think about the consequences for a minute. (a) cripple the servers -- that's bad, then real people can't submit their real opinions and comments. (b) overwhelm anything useful and all comments are ignored -- why would you want that?? The vast majority of real comments favor net neutrality, why would you want them to be ignored? Of course, your arguments do make sense for the anti-NN companies who don't want real people's comments heard, which is probably why they did it.
