An indirect "proof" that this strategy actually serves research more thoroughly lies in the fact that publisher do /not/ allow this in their standard green exceptions (by allowing deposit only to personal webpages and institutional repositories).
I slightly disagree in that "country-wide" repositories would still force scientist to search in dozens of them (if not hundreds, to be exhaustive).
