I am going to assume that this also destroys millions of AI agents and bot scrapers this time which is why some “AI Engineers” were complaining about this recently.

Well, this is how Google will kill all the scrapers on its search data.

Aside from the horrendous privacy implications, is there a possible argument that this is anti-competitive?

If Windows wasn't so far behind Apple and the rest of the industry in regards to integrity APIs this wouldn't be necessary. It's embarrassing for Microsoft that someone needs to use a separate, more secure device since their security is so bad.
