It's not as simple as being pro- or anti-bot. It's about giving site owners the tools to decide whether or not they want to allow them. Seems pretty consistent to me. If they don't want bots, they can use tools to identify and block them. If they do, they can do things like automatically deliver markdown versions to them, or use x402 to charge micropayments.
