Sure, but does that means that we, Linux users, can't go on the web anymore ? It's way easier for spammers and bots to move to another user agent/system than for legitimate users. So whatever causes this is not a great solution to this problem. You can do better CF
I'm a Linux user as well but I'm not sure what Cloudflare is supposed to be doing here that makes everybody happy. Removing the most obvious signals of botting because there are some real users that look like that too may be better for that individual user but that doesn't make it a good answer for legitimate users as a whole. SPAM, DoS, phishing, credential stuffing, scraping, click fraud, API abuse, and more are problems which impact real users just as extra checks and false positive blocks do.
If you really do have a better way to make all legitimate users of sites happy with bot protections then by all means there is a massive market for this. Unfortunately you're probably more like me, stuck between a rock and a hard place of being in a situation where we have no good solution and just annoyance with the way things are.
The method is the same, it just looks different when n=1. I.e. the method is "wait until you see something particularly anomalous occuring, probe, see if the reaction is human like". The more times you say "well you can't count that as anomalous, an actual person can look like that too and a bot could try to fake that!" the less effective it becomes at blocking bots.
This approach clearly blocks bots so it's not enough to say "just don't ever do things which have false positives" and it's a bit silly to say "just don't ever do the things which have false positives, but for my specific false positives only - leave the other methods please!"
