Those are both stupid arguments.

Maybe business are free to decide on their business model and not forced to comply with anybody else hobby project.

> how many of the 400M strivers do I really want to network with?

How is LI being forced to comply? It's the opposite, hobby project is legally forced to desist.

They are not, and they shouldn't be.

The argument I was against was that LinkedIn should bear the cost of scrapers, and if they can't they must change their monetisation strategy to something that can.
