But... Wouldn't the end result just be that your tax dollars get spent responding to bogus requests that waste a lot of time?

If you are dissatisfied with a government agency, it seems counterproductive to deliberately make them operate less efficiently. This attitude seems like it would just reinforce an endless cycle of inefficiency and dissatisfaction

Since the only real interactions I've had with this agency is them screwing me over I don't care that much about its efficiency, and I couldn't be more dissatisfied.

On the other hand you are right in that it helps do other stuff that does benefit me, I just don't notice the benefits as much as the harm because the harm is direct and the benefits are societal.
