It makes website owners mad because there's no IP address to block to prevent scraping, but if they really cared, they would make you request a quote and sign an NDA beforehand. Of course, sales would go to 0 if they did that, so they don't. The chrome extension is a happy workaround.
One should be thankful that the big banks are spying on merchants and not you for once ;)
