Doesn't sound plausible to me—If they can detect spam links like you're suggesting, why not just mask those links as bsky short links?
Its easier to do this, so they don't have to go through every post to check if it has a bad link, and if so, to edit it.
but that’s what indexes are for
That wasn't the reason they gave anyway -- they added it so publishers could track outgoing links.
