It has other benefits. Those big providers see a huge amount of exit traffic and can potentially do correlation against that.

I disagree on 'huge'. If you worry about i.e. Amazon hosting to much exit bandwidth you have to worry about many other* ASes first, and even then, banning them all completely (exit prob = 0) isn't probably a wise strategy.

I'm not talking about those providers hosting exit nodes. I'm talking about general web sites and resources hosted by them and the traffic that goes there.
