The answer to the question is no, it should not.
But I disagree with the ts assuming that it does not already happen, fact is to many judges already give credit for ineffective aggression. IMHO a lot of the times you see a scorecard that doesn't match reality or the other scorecards it's usually because they felt one fighter deserved the credit as the aggressor regardless of how ineffective it was.
Effective Aggression is in the eye of the beholder.

Giving credit to ineffective aggression is like rewarding kids with medals just because they competed.
Whoever feels that ineffective aggression should be a favoring factor probably grew up receiving those consolation trophies and medals just so their feelings wouldn't get hurt.

Lara barely led even, you can't give him the effective aggressor category. Canelo by a landslide.

No, and usually guys who throw a lot get rewarded on the cards anyway. The idea of giving credit for something ineffective doesn't make sense.
The only possible exception is maybe when someone throws and misses a lot of jabs, but it serves the purpose of breaking the other guy's game, not letting him get comfortable or plant his feet for long. Alvarado-Rios II for example, Alvarado missed a lot of jabs but I wouldn't class them all as wasted punches. But even then, if Alvarado was being outlanded overall I wouldn't give him the round so there's really no case for winning a round because of missing punches.
