Sitting to the left of a compulsive donker forces you to fold many marginal hands you'd prefer to keep. Other times it causes you to be trapped for extra bets. When putting money into the pot it is best to be first (betting) or last (closing). The second guy investing money is in the worst possible spot and must play the tightest to compensate.
It is true that the field-killer raise will win you some extra pots. Problem is that's not how poker players keep score. Nothing makes me happier than a PFR telling me clearly that this is not the right hand for one of my light flop calls. Players who donk into PFRs are money in the bank for the rest of the table. The donker's investment is unsound and the PFR is put in a tough spot. Everyone else benefits from the free information and the lucrative trapping chances.
