Is there a difference between a "bot framework" and something that allows
people to automate their communications with web services?
It appears to me this is a case of a general-purpose tool that can be used
for good or for bad. Like wget.
Is this criticism more valid for Weboob than it would be for wget?
Can you offer a constructive criticism? A way that Weboob could aid
ethical uses more and unethical uses less?

No it wouldn't. Even supposing that your criticism were valid for
Weboob -- which has not been demonstrated -- it would not be valid for
our program, Elbank, which would use Weboob only for doing a
legitimate job.
