Bots are allowed because they are not specifically disallowed. Presumably bots are like guns. Nothing is good or bad about a bot per se. It is an inanimate object, cold and perfectly calculating with computer like precision. Bots are only good or bad based on the programming logic used by the person that pulls the trigger - to write the code
Guns aren't bad. But guns are mostly used for harming people, so countries have banned them.
Bots aren't bad. But bots on this platform are mostly used for harming the ecosystem, so the useless 'pay you when you pay me' bots should be banned.
