Incentives usually have unintended consequences.

The laws that would apply to unsolicited pentesting make it undesirable to perform it.

Thus, society as a whole is less secure because someone wants to protect companies from hacking.

Yes, same with the more general "whistleblowers". Unethical companies will always try to punish those who expose them.
