Let's dont act as if the whole world was trying to fight against ytdl.

It's not just about ytdl; this policy will ban all headless browsers, text-based browsers, and browsers with automation tools.
And it's also ineffective, because any full GUI browser can be automated with extensions or userscripts, so banning useragents or non-javascript browsers won't actually prevent automates sign-ins.
