We run agents on web tasks and the difference between clean semantic HTML and a site drowning in React state is massive. Agents can technically navigate both, but one costs 10x more in compute and fails 5x more often.

Whether site owners have any incentive to care is a different question. Agent traffic doesn't pay the bills yet. Something like x402 could change that, but the payment rails aren't there.
