The web doesn't need attestation. It doesn't need signed agents. It doesn't need Cloudflare deciding who's a "real" user agent. It needs people to remember that "public" means PUBLIC and implement basic damn rate limiting if they can't handle the traffic.
The web doesn't need to know if you're a human, a bot, or a dog. It just needs to serve bytes to whoever asks, within reasonable resource constraints. That's it. That's the open web. You'll miss it when it's gone.
