Maybe they shouldn't report those numbers because at this point it seems like a dick measurement contest among botnet owners.
I think even if it was then it's likely better to have the attackers show their hands by attacking (comparatively) irrelevant targets. I would assume that there are insights to be gained to even more effectively mitigate potential future attacks by this.
