If any random probe targeting Win10 has a 1% success rate, and similar probe targeting XP has a 0.01% success rate, what probes would you let your botnet send out?
Probing for obscure OS that isn't there on the other end = opportunity cost.

Both probably. I don't see where the "opportunity cost" is when you can trivially do both. Please describe the opportunity cost in detail; that is what I am asking about.
