[oxymoron]

Different customers have different attitudes towards this. Some of them are _very_ focused on conversion and will disable anything which causes additional user friction. For others, the economic damage of bots is just so painful that it makes economic sense for them to add friction for a few percent of users.

I'm a linux user myself, so I know for a fact that neither my previous employer, nor other bot vendors, will block linux user agents in particular. Customers generally don't mind a universal requirement for JS execution, so that's just a fact of life. We generally did try to avoid blocking privacy focused browsers, though. We certainly monitored false positive rates and knew pretty well how we affected users.
