True. The collective cost of Cloudfare and other screens for automated activity is huge and effectively has ground the Internet to a halt. I am also regularly blocked from Google scholar for "unusual traffic" when there is none.
When we talk about the costs that LLMs impose on society we should not forget the fact that nothing works anymore because everyone is so scared of getting their shit scraped.

I can't even use google scholar from my university or starlink because they send too much traffic.
