Scraping is legal; as are assistive technologies.
What’s lacking is the collective willpower to develop social organizations, which could orchestrate and fund such efforts. There’s a complete lack of organization among the public.
The problem is neither technical nor legislative: people just don’t care to, and are happier accepting the status quo.

This is one reason I favor just breaking up businesses beyonda. certain size. The ostensible consumer benefits of scale are outweighed by the 2nd order costs of market distortions. Efficiency is nice but not worth the combination of rent-seeking and adversarial zero-sum strategies.
