I think it might make sense assuming that the ticket to "increase price for automation bots" ticket was taken by someone who did not think through the implications, and maybe there wasn't an adequate sprint planning (or maybe place is sort of old fashioned no actual sprint planning) and so nobody else discussed potential downsides.

So instead of getting a bot detection script they rolled their own solution.

Why am I giving them the benefit of a doubt here, because it doesn't really make sense for an airline to want to punish ad blockers.
