Can't you just spoof a user agent anyway?
You can, but some people don't if they don't think they're doing anything wrong
if they are blocking proxy and VPN connections, when they detect an unusual amount of requests from your IP they'll ban it and you won't be able to circumvent it changing your user agent.
