A surprisingly small number of sites care. There are some really fun things one can do with random class/id/order variations. It's also fun to feed garbage data to scrapers when you can identify them with very high probability.

But there seems to be little demand for these kinds of systems and just throttling/blocking/CAPTCHA solutions are much simpler.
