There is bot traffic initiated by a human and bot traffic not initiated by a human. I would want to serve the first but not the second if it impacted my cost/performance at all.

Isn't all bot traffic ultimately initiated by a human? Someone plugged the computer in and gave it instructions. It may result in one http request or billions of them, but the human is still the initiator.
