It would be quite a lot of effort to do that this way, especially since
the (preliminary) outcome is the same - sorry, it won't work any better.

What I wonder is how they want to make a difference using .onion addresses
for their customers - tor crawlers can take that redirect just so.

90% of tor traffic isn't 90% of total traffic. Also, e.g. those sites
will just see that the email addresses they publish are getting spammed,
but they won't even make the connection to crawling via tor.
