This would probably be less useful than you think.
Firstly, changing the default doesn't matter - the attackers will just switch to targeting whichever URL causes the most pain.
Secondly, in comparison to prerendered pages of live content, js files are incredibly cheap and easy to chuck on a CDN. They don't change often, so you don't need to worry about cache invalidation, and even at a server level they're probably hosted by a simple file server rather than hitting the DB.
