You said, "And the suggestions really only impact malicious actors accessing your website from a script." and that was false. Since you didn't have experience being blocked you couldn't know. Not till it happens to you. I don't think pointing this out is a personal attack. It's just the way people work. People don't believe things are a problem until they become a problem for them.

You and others can keep quoting the legit and clever ways to mitigate bot spam but if you ignore the false positives the other checks create it kind of defeats the point.
