Imagine a company that has purchased a stack of IP addresses. A certain number of machines in the company are infected and create a significant burden for the victim. Operators of anti-DDos services contact the company that owns the IP addresses and asks to check the computers for the presence of the beast.
Is this scenario applicable in our realities?

As far as I can imagine anti-ddosers, they make money by filtering DDoS. If there is no DDoS, their services will not be needed either.

Look at the chronicles of dos attacks - blogerator.ru/page/ddos-v-100-gbits-reportazh-s-linii-fronta-ot-ocevidca
I am not a deep expert in network technologies, but I think that there is no effective protection against dos. There is only hope that it will not hook, and if it does, the service is guaranteed to become and will stand for as long as the attack lasts, i.e. indefinite time. The article is about dedosers and their effectiveness in real "floods".

In the case of a sane noc, they will cover it. But don't rely too much. Some may not cover up due to inattention / pi * svu, some others may not have the technical capability, others will not specifically respond (bulletproof), and so on.
As for 100Gbps DDoS, DDoS, like any service, costs money. No one will pour 100Gb / s into Vasya Pupkin's homepage, so it's too early to immediately deal with weapons.
