The need for proxies in any legitimate context became obsolete with starlink being so widespread. Throw up a few terminals and you have about 500-2k cgnat IP addresses to do whatever you like.

2k IPs is not enough to do most enterprise scale scraping. Starlink's entire ASN doesn't seem to have enough V4 addresses to handle it even.
If they're CGNAT then unless Starlink actively provides assistance to block them it won't matter.
As someone who wants the internet to maintain as much anarchy as possible I think it would be nice to see a large ISP that actively rotated its customer IPv6 assignments on a tight schedule.
The actual secret is to use IPv6 with varied source IPs in the same subnet, you get an insane number of IPs and 90% of anti-scraping software is not specialized enough to realize that any IP in a /64 is the same as a single IP in a /32 in IPv4.
