Why? Isn't it likely that it'll just report e.g. "python-requests" for the user agent, and it's up to the server side to decide what that means?

That user agent would make them easily identifiable and therefore blockable. It's more likely that they are trying to hide as a legitimate user.

Just hard to believe 6%. That's a huge number. Hopefully it's true🤞
