In many cases, it may be to fulfill rules associated with PCIDSS requirements, even if the company never sees the credit card. This all originates from consultants, and the consultants are engaged in security theater.
Yes, it makes sense if the environment has changed, the device has changed, or if the person is logging in from a higher threat source such as a VPN IP address. However, if nothing changed, it is a waste of time in many cases.
Along with having block lists, perhaps you could add poison to your results that generates random bad code that will not work, and that is only seen by bots (display: none when rendered), and the bots will use it, but a human never would.

I don't think the idea behind PureBasic and SpiderBasic was simplicity. (One alluring property of PureBasic has been the ability to do inline ASM... But in a speedy production environment.)
It's proably more like "there was a time in which computers were shipped with their own programming language, and it was BASIC (interfaced to ROM and machine code)". So, it's "BASIC as the fundamental coding tool your computer should have been shipped with".
Something that languages like Visual BASIC or SpiderBasic get right is including an opinionated GUI toolkit which is well integrated with the language and straightforward to use.
Less flexibility than Python or JavaScript, but standardized, relatively easy to use, and always there by default.
I consider that I have likely died more than twice in my lifetime already. And before this body gives up, I will have already died more times. Must simply enjoy the present and give gifts to my future self.
