Ozone at ground level (or reasonably close) doesn't get up into the
stratosphere, where the "hole" is... if it did, then photochemical smog, of
which ozone is a significant component, would be a "good" thing, and it
isn't.  We're talking tons of ozone from the reaction in smog.

For what it's worth, the amount of tropospheric ozone a TC produces is
vanishingly small compared to the amount produced by lightning. (which also
produces significant NOx, of course).
