If this is something that individual instances can opt out of then it doesn't solve the "bot problem."

It definitely does. You just defederate from the instances that don’t do something to avoid bots.

That stops bots for a particular instance, assuming they guessed right about which accounts were bots. It doesn't stop bots on the Fediverse.

You only need to stop it on your own instance. You can’t do anything else anyway. Users will go to the instances that aren’t flooded with bots.
