It doesn't the frequentist is already measuring with the sample distribution. That is how frequentism works.
I mean it's not "wrong" but if you care about false positive rates and there is a method had has a 5% false positive rate, wouldn't you want to use that instead?
If for some reason low false positive rates were important, sure. If it's important enough to give up consistency.
