The programmers of these bots are not lazy - this space is a thriving industry with a bunch of commercial bots, the abiluty of whcih to evade cloudflare/etc is the literal metric that determines their commercial viability
My data says otherwise and you have provided nothing to back up your claim other than saying we have an industry full of dirty money paying programmers to write unethical code. I'm sure it inspires them to do their best work.
Half these imbeciles don't even change the user-agent from the scraper they downloaded off GitHub.
I employ lots of filtering so it's possible the data is skewed towards those that sneak through the sieve - but they've already been caught, so it's meaningless.
