yes, but my point was I think its a "bad" design.

It is not part of the internet, if servers want to provide "anonymous" access they can provide a tor address. But if they don't, then accessing a standard webserver via tor is very little different than any of the other means of illegitimately accessing computers.

->web access via tor seems like a lot of effort to provide what is little more than providing "hacking" services against normal webservers.

I would much rather see for example: https://thepiratebay.se.onion

where tor contacts the dns for thepiratebay.se to get the underlying onion address to use.

much better all round than either going through an exit node (most of which are malicious) to thepiratebay.se or trying to remember uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.onion or whatever it has changed to now.
