Then you get burglars in your shop instead of legitimate customers.
User Agents look the way they do because this is a recurring issue.
A browser without network effects gets blocked, they look for a way to bypass the blocking, then they become mainstream and now the de-facto UA is larger than before.

And use your brain for a hot second will you? Bad actors don't use a rare user agent, they use the same Chrome user agent that everyone else uses.
