IDK, a mechanism that helps Tor continue to run does not seem like a 'wasted', 'needless' computation to me. People literally use Tor to protect themselves in situations that might result in heavy penalties for exposing the truth (maybe even torture or death.) If hidden nodes can be easily DDoSed it just makes it easier to censor the facts (and that can be dangerous.) Tor really does represent the best of us.
