That doesn't really help. People already know how to paste the URL for a piece of software into a paper. It's more that it doesn't count for anything (because it's a piece of software and not a paper).

It does help, as the DOI system provides the tracking needed to count citations and measure the "effectiveness" of the researcher.

Such citations are not valued by $FIELD (for most values of FIELD). Only citations of published papers count.
