The entire fucking point of the Web was to make information as easily-accessible as possible, structured and semantically tagged, and consumable by humans and further machine transformation alike. “Scraping” is facilitated by design!
Using Javascript to deliberately break that is evil and every programmer who participates it is a piece of shit. No exceptions.

Semantic web was a separate initiative by Tim Berners-Lee when the web already used un-semantic HTML. And it never went anywhere.
