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.

One day Google may well flag your sure as lower security, refuse to let you show ads, or disappear you from search results.

I never had ads on my site and if it disappears from search results, no problem. I'll give the URL to the very few people that might be interested to browse it. I probably know all of them, plus a number of bots.

They may also flag your site as "unsafe" and will refuse to display it with scary warnings and hidden overrides that the average user will not be able to access it. This already exists btw. Also in Firefox, using Google's blacklist.
