Why is it that network operators can't work together on instances like this and have a "botnet killswitch"

That's certainly one of the biggest non-technical reasons. Others go by the acronyms NIH and NIMBY. But to me it boils down to some hard questions: what is a botnet, who gets to make that definition, what is a killswitch, and who is allowed to push it? I'm sure the collective wisdom here is capable of pulling the task off at least in theory; the hard part would be deciding whether to do it in hardware or software....
