Tesla has smart people, just like any tech company, but they're not uniquely smart and they're not immune to the same short-sighted thinking that plagues other tech companies.
Note that I think this particular idea is not necessarily bad for the company, it's just not anything special. It's basically Folding@Home, monetized. If you can convince enough people to leave it on (or force it on and somehow avoid legal/PR issues) then I guess you can save a tiny bit of money on certain kinds of workloads.
It also depends a lot on what your hardware is, whether you're doing a full scan or a partial scan, whether you have more than one NIC etc, etc.
I highly recommend using BetterTouchTool to get the most out of it if you still have a device with the touch bar.
