Indeed, there's demand/a market! Every player has a slightly different angle and market focus:

-Simplescraper as the name suggests is very scraping focused, not process automation focused.

-Browserless is more like 'heroku for browser bots' (i.e. a cloud runtime).

-include.ai (having pivoted) are a tool for internal browser extensions.

-browseai focus on the monitoring use-case.

-apify are very cloud runtime focused (they price on the memory of their servers and are much higher than us - getting back into traditional RPA territory).

...speaking of which, I haven't even started on traditional, developer-centric RPA yet. For that there's obviously automation anywhere, blue prism, leapwork, electroneek...
