I'm just not sure how having the worst team end up at #12 would help the product.  I get that it disincentives tanking, but it can also result in bad teams staying bad for a long time.

Absolutely. This just will keep bad teams bad for longer.  It is dumb.

Genuinely curious, did bad teams stay bad from 1985-1989 (I know, five years is a small sample size) when the draft had flat odds for all lottery teams?
