Instagram was like that for me ever since I know it, couldn't bother creating an account though. If it's important, there are scraping sites to visit Instagram profiles by name without an account.
Regarding the block/redirect: technically they could have used the MutationObserver API to track your usage of the DevTools to remove the modal. Have had the same experience a while ago if I'm not misremembering. But I'd also assume they're just counting requests without login per IP, much simpler.
