I would agree with everything you are saying. I did not start this service for the sake of stopping actual people from using certain websites. I started this service to mitigate/detect bot abuse of consumer applications.
I think it really is dependent on the consumer application. But mentioned by some other folks is to add the ability to have IP exceptions, essentially an allow list, which I am in favor of. This brings up an entirely different issue, which is identifying the user as legitimate.
