You can't yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater, etc...
You can if there's a fire. Well... yeah. But what emergency would a DDoS attack signify? Playing Devil's advocate only: Why panic and threat of life does a DDoS cause?

I get your point and agree -- generally none (unless they hit a site upon which people have come to rely on).

It's not protected "speech," it's vandalism.
To me, it's the same as PETA breaking into labs or splashing paint on fur-wearers.
