No.

 a) This increases the load on the Tor network, as circuit creation is
    CPU intensive, and exit nodes tend to be under load.

 b) In your magic world, how would accessing any site that uses
    multiple hosts for content to work?

    Eg: Say https://www.example.com/index.html pulls in static assets
        from cdn.example.com, google's copy of jquery, and an embedded
        youtube video.

    All of these things should be fetched over the same circuit (and
    will be currently).

The one upside to what you want is that it's possible that Hanlon's
Razor applies (as opposed to the people that seem to think that Exits
should actively combat abuse by having the capability for censorship).
