They seem to handle all the more annoying parts of web scraping: bypassing anti scraping things such as rate limits and captchas.

Being tech savvy, there's no way I'm implementing that for $0.002 per request. $150 gets you 75k scrapes.

And if you're not doing it yourself, $150 does not get you very much labor.
