The lower rated bots should spam draw offers when they are about to get mated just to make them a more real-life experience.

Because the house wins? The house is like the engine. Why bet against it?
That's what I'm saying: the engine is the one that's freerolling the human. So why should the engine offer a draw to the human?
The context of the question is with best play. The computer wouldn't know they are playing a human or another engine.
The only information the engine needs is:
Is there a chance I'll screw this up, or can I guarantee myself a draw at minimum?
If the engine can guarantee itself a draw at minimum, with even the slightest chance of gaining a win, then it should never accept or offer a draw.

The human though knows if they are leading in a tournament and can just draw. Also WCC matches usually start out with draws.
