Would you like to explain how directing your user agent to use the internet just as you would in order to complete a task or solve a problem is "mass scraping"?
Your premise is flawed, or at the very least, far from guaranteed. One could use tools like this to use to browse the internet only as they would otherwise. One could also use it for mass scraping, and many do. If you've looked at HN on previous days this week, there's been a front-page story nearly every day about problems resulting from exactly that.
The parent comment was perhaps a bit too snarky with the assumption that this could/would only be used for malicious behavior on a large scale, but your assumption that it wouldn't be is not any better, and also runs contrary to what people have been experiencing and discussing in this arena in recent days
