Sure, that's why they sanitize the User-Ggent header when using these proxies. Good luck attributing the scraping to anyone at all.

It just needs one case where someone manages to attribute it to the corp using these illicit services.

Either by technical means or by a whistleblower.

Which might be a gamble worth doing, but also might not. And regardless, the fact that it is a gamble alone slows down velocity.
