This is kind of a strange comment as it implies a false dichotomy.

Its not 'nefarious' in that its in their best business interests.

But it'd be difficult to take anyone serious who thinks Anthropic's motivation was to improve the UX, and the other effect were by accident. At the time they specifically started blocking based on openclaw prompt text. Its a walled-garden tactic.

A walled garden is nefarious to people who do not want to be inside one.
