It does seem like this bill mostly affects normal users and is suspect with more surveillance being pushed. However the biggest problem is that the internet is global and the fees only apply to the US. If bots from Russia, China, India, or even France are scrapping then how would this even reduce the bots? Seems more like a new 'contempt of business model' is the purpose of this bill.
So is a web browser a bot? What about an ad blocker? RECAP? NewPipe? The default browser opening a link at the behest of some other program? A browser extension that downloads all your emails from your webmail provider?
Their intention is presumably not to ban those things, or equivalently, legally require them to declare themselves to be something that would cause them to be blocked. Or if it is then they're proposing something hostile and malicious. But if that isn't their intention then where is their method of distinguishing that from whatever it is they're actually trying to do?
A shop selling goods in $COUNTRY has very little to gain from allowing arbitrary users from any other country. Allowing bots has always been a tradeoff between the potential benefits and the impact on infrastructure, which is why it's reasonable to identify yourself as a bot for the purpose of rate limiting purposes.
A journalist anonymously using a crawler is indistinguishable from a bad actor trying to collect data for its own purposes, some of which may actually be against the interests of the company in question. In particular, a blog or news publication offering knowledge in exchange for ad revenue stands to disappear because that same knowledge can be compressed in a LLM and offered to the end user directly, completely depriving the source of any revenue.
