it's not an amplification of the attacker, but it does spread the inbound traffic so that the target has a harder time blocking it.

I tend to agree with you on the visibility issue, but I think it's a close call, with different answers for different people, and nowhere close to "there's a special place in hell reserved" for people who do this.
