If the general Internet was based on torrents, then the required upload ratio enforcement would have ensured bots contribute to the reliability rather than destabilize the infrastructure.

The problem would move from verifying legitimacy of agent actions to legitimacy of agent reputation, which might even be easier to spoof.
torrents don't have a required upload ratio though.
There are tracker ecosystems that enforce ratio, what.cd for example had developed a pretty advanced torrent economic rule set.
I know what you mean but it's not part of the protocol and I don't think you could enforce it on an internet scale
