Yes, but it’s up to their competitors to build competing services.
control+F accessibility no results Yeah so this mouse movement astrology is going to completely lock non-sighted/keyboard only users out of large swaths of the Internet isn't it.

It’s less weird if you think there’s a difference between good bots and bad bots. They can provide services for good bots to use while helping people keep out the bad ones. If a bot is simulating mouse movement but doing it badly then that’s a strong signal of shenanigans. A good bot will obey robots.txt and do nothing to hide that it’s a bot.
Who gets to decide what is a good bot?

Generally isn't a good bot one that respects robots.txt and is respectful of the site's resources by not being spammy?
