wget and curl give out html files, these are useless to the end user unless they are opened with other software, typically a browser.
I don't know of any online service that expects end users to use something like wget and curl, maybe in niche cases, or for personal use, but I don't think it can be considered a primary use case for these software.

The French government is shooting itself in the foot (as usual). [1] which I would absolutely do if legislators are stupid enough to pass this law. No one gets to control what I read.
