Pretty soon every single website will be hidden behind a login page

  Yeah but then they'll have an unauthenticated API, I see this often. Website owners will also never stop scraping and prosecuting the owner of every crawler (who can obfuscate their identity anyways) is impossible. Captchas are going to increasingly become more obsolete. It's a fools errand to spend resources fighting scrapers.

  And pretty soon afterward, every one of those login page will be circumvented by a bot signup.

    Don't worry, you'll need to upload your photo ID to be able to login and do anything online.

      People who run bots have IDs.

        Indeed. And they also have everything else that could be used to ID a human, or soon will do e.g. DNA.
