This sounds like the final death blow to the web as a useful platform for anyone who isn't a corporation.

This is bad but how is it going to affect the usefulness of my personal web site, that will never use that API to check who's reading it, not or human? Same thing for a lot of sites, probably the vast majority of them.

It won't at all, of course, but personal websites are a vanishing breed.

HTTPS has a lot to do with that. let's encrypt is free, but requires things common users dont have, such as control of a domain, as it is if google can see your stored certificates it could exclude you from a site based on "sites you hang around with"
