I'm sure that the NSA also has a large array of lists. Having a list called 'extremists' and 'terrorists' helps you get warrants, even if the list is merely composed of people interested in protecting their anonymity.
Tor will never take off on its own. There are many stigmas, and many barriers. Furthermore, in the past year to two years, pretty much every service has blacklisted all Tor exit nodes. It used to be moderately easy to sign up for Gmx (and, three years ago, even gmail) over Tor without needing a phone number. Many websites block all exit nodes from posting (though most at least allow viewing).
I would dislike to see this as a feature in Firefox until Tor is easier to use. In principle it makes sense and I support the idea, but in practice it would make private browsing very frustrating. I also imagine that you'd have a much more extreme supply vs. demand problem if this happened, reducing an already slow Tor to barely usable speeds.
