Oh, okay, four ... maybe it's of some use to Law Enforcement. But they probably have their own methods of being undercover. I dunno.
Basically, unless you're a cop ... it's silly to use it (at best).
Do you realize that almost every on-line forum these days uses HTTPS? Do you think that's also a bad thing somehow? Where do you draw the line here? We should use as much security as it is economically viable, you never know how much security you need until it's too late.
Of course HTTPS is a good thing because it has all the benefits of security with none of the risks.
I wouldn't describe a browser that can access the dark web, on the other hand, as something with no risks to it.
You even admitted yourself that using it puts you on a list "unless you set it up properly." Well, not everyone is an IT buff that can set it up properly.
That's for starters.
Another thing is that it's a slippery slope once you are able to access the dark web. Once you think it's okay to access one part of it then what holds you back from the rest and what stops you from bumping into something truly fucking awful?
