There are API’s that chrome provides that allows servers to validate whether the request came from an official chrome browser. That would detect that this curl isn’t really chrome.

It’d be nice if something could support curl’s arguments but drive an actual headless chrome browser.

There’s no way this couldn’t be replicated by a special build of curl.
