I think it's worse than that; it looks like Filecoin's PoRep proves that multiple copies of the data are stored on the same server. I don't understand why this is useful.

There's no incentive to store multiple copies of the same data vs a single copy of multiple datas. It's a possible attack vector, for example you could store all of the copies of some data and then lose it, but there's no economic incentive to do so from what I understand.
