Hashing a public key prevents you choosing arbitrary hashes.

True, of course, but if there are N nodes in the network, and I only want to make my ID closer to x than anybody elses, I don't need to choose an arbitrary hash, I only need to test O(N) public keys until I find a hash that fits the criteria.
