>So, instead of defining a bot primarily as “AI” or not, our updated approach to classification will ask deeper questions about bot or agent behavior: What are they doing on my site? What are they storing? And how will they reshare my content?

I dont get this. The question is are they a bot or a human. It doesnt matter what they are doing I dont want bots on my site.

Why not. You need a reason. A browser is just a bot that renders pages.
