Scraping ia nice for static conten, no doubt. But I wonder at what point it is easier to request changes to a developing thread via API than to request the whole page with all nested content over and over to find the new answes in there.

Following a developing thread is a very tiny use case I'd imagine and even then you can just scrape the backend API that is used on the public page for the same results as private API.
