They could create a million nodes, it would make no difference. You are wasting your own time with these questions.

I made a thread about something similar a couple years back. Somebody popped up a lot of (clearnet) nodes. At the time I was thinking that they're either trying to do a connection-exhaust attack or partitioning attack. I'm having trouble finding it right now. In practice, it usually creates a high cost for the attacker with very little to no gain.
