> Spammers/scammers use Tor. And they use it in a big way.

Yes, and they use the rest of the internet, too. Maybe we should ban everything.



yes, but, in the language of conditional probability:

P(spammer|non-tor) is quite low (there are not that much spammers), while P(spammer|tor) is almost one (almost everyone coming from Tor is a spammer).


Email spam is responsive for 85%-95% of all emails. That's almost all. Yet, nobody would seriously suggest to ban email.
