I think we are seeing the death of what was left of the open web, as people react to inconsiderate crawling for uses (AI) they are not sympathetic with by deciding trying to ban all automated access is the way to go. :(
The result will be that giant corporations and those will bad intents will still find a way to access what they need, but small, hobby citizen and civil society efforts will be blocked out.

I very much dislike the invasive scrapping approaches. If something were to be done about it, it would result in a new way that clients interact with resources on the web.
