What an incredibly good point.

That gives me hope, as someone who wants to do low-frequency data analysis that's only possible via multiple queries.

You might be okay, but I would try to get some insider info on how AdWords Analytics companies get away with it. Might just be sneaky bots. A lot of idiots write code that pings or loads google.com to check for internet access so they can't block it completely.
I redundantly made the following comment upon referring to this comment later in this thread:

Try Google Custom Search as well, $100 a year for 20k queries; I'm a client.

Good evening, I regret to inform you that Google custom search is dead.

The good news it's that it's reborn as an ad support version. Google doesn't want your dirty cash when your competitors are willing to pay much more for ad placement on your site.

Google Site Search is dead, but Google Custom Search is not.
