Rate limiting by IP is trivial to work around. If you’re doing something white/grayhat there are plenty of services that will allow you to affordably "lease" as many IP addresswas as you need for very short amounts of time. For blackhat purposes it’s only slightly more effort and even cheaper to do the same thing, illegally of course.
