I’d be curious to know why they “worried” in the first place though.

Genuinely thought this was an editorial by nature.com explaining how they stopped worrying about researchers scraping their website for data and instead embraced them, and the rationale behind this decision. Turned out to be a just a 101 about web scraping in general. Disappointed.

I too was wondering if this was going to be explained. Had to re-read the article just to make sure I didn't miss something.
