This sounds like exactly what a 'data ownership' law would solve. Allow the user, via some official oauth to their service providers, to authorize even a competitor to access their account so the competitor can bear the burden of interfacing with the API to port their new user's data over; but it should be a one-time-every-year thing, so that the law doesn't require it to the point of forcing companies to scale their service to handle bots like the main OP is experiencing.
