Yea I generally would really prefer something like that but it
significantly complicates the download logic - currently clients can
easily cross-check a filter in case they differ between providers by
downloading the block. If we instead went with the script being spent
they would have to be provided all previous transactions (potentially
compressed via midstate) as well, making it potentially infeasible to
identify the offending node while remaining a lightweight client. Maybe
there is some other reasonable download logic to replace it with, however.
