@Christianz That is is a fascinating insight. All of the SG maggots I have seen are just scraping raw html. There have been a few Starlink attempts on other pages but those pages are rate limited. What I have seen in some of the monthly gTLD Website/IP surveys is that some gTLD websites are hosted on Starlink customer IPs. Given the rise of residental proxies, there may also be a connection there with some of the SG maggots (crawlers and spiders being from search engines, maggots being from AI/scraper botnets).
