These services cost money. Scrapers also cost money in terms of resource utilization and downtime. There's always a tradeoff.

The ROI of services like Cloudflare bot protection, Datadome, HUMAN, AWS bot mitigation etc. is highly dependent on your income from the data. In the case of publicly hosted freely accessible data it can be hard to justify.
