No, the preimise is that a server that offers an HTTP endpoint should provide the same behavior at the endpoint regardless of the nature of the device or software that is accessing it.
Obviously, we have some exceptions already, hence robots.txt
But the idea is that if I am a user pointing something with a reasonable functional distance of "a web browser" at an HTTP server, the server should not alter its behavior based on an attempt to verify the internals of my browser.
