Eh, I really doubt that it's designed to punish people who aren't tracking. Tracking makes users much more valuable, but the average legitimate user who isn't being tracked is still probably net positive value, so it wouldn't make sense to just block them outright.
I think the problem is that a very high percentage of malicious behavior online comes from Tor, certain IP ranges, VPNs, scrapers that don't run Javascript, etc, etc. You can't get rid of all of those malicious actors, but you can probably block the vast majority of them by taking the actions you're complaining about here, and I suspect that it doesn't actually cost you that much. You get some cranky nerds and some legit users who are using Tor and VPNs who won't be able to use your site, but they're a tiny minority.
