I think there is still a point. Lets think about this from a scalpers perspective.
I want to make as much money as possible. I know there will always be a market for products people can't get on the traditional market. I can clearly identify these ahead of time and spend thousands buying them.
If when I use automated bots to buy, my products then become illegal's aka 'slightly harder' to sell. That might reduce my income.
If I then have to employ people to click the same buttons as normal people click using the same software normal people use, and not circumventing order limits or 1 per person rules. That means I can't get products as easily or cheaply and reduces my profit.
I see two solutions to scalpers. Incentivize or require a demand based market. So that prices shoot way up on their own. (bad for many reasons) or cut into profit margins and restrict overall volume of the people that will create that demand based market legally or illegibly.
