This attitude, and by proxy this business are the epitome of selfish entitlement.
You state that you believe you deserve access to others’ resources, at their cost, despite their clear attempts to stop you from using them, simply because you want it.
I'd counter that your attitude is a techno-authoritarian one. Why should anyone have any say over how I access and use a publicly available resource? At least so long as my actions don't directly cause technical problems for the service operator.
Personally I consider it fair game in "price wars".
Dynamic pricing designed to extract every penny out. Then why shouldn't I be allowed to monitor your pricing changes?
You can already access these resources. What does it matter if you do the clicking or you have headless chrome do the clicking while you make a cup of coffee?
Dude, it's a web request. It's not that deep.
