There are others who can probably provide better answers than me, but I 
believe that your question assuming blocking from all web search engines 
and also assuming blocking for all FPC related resources, not just the 
Wiki, is very misleading. What I know for sure is that we had problems 
with DDoS atacks / overloading of the Wiki and that the implemented 
blocking protects the resources from these overloads. You may ask 
ChatGPT whether it's better to ensure availability of the Wiki for 
users, or whether providing access to LLM tools is more important than 
providing access to users - or you may better try answering that 
question yourself, because asking a LLM whether LLM access is more 
important than access for people doesn't sound sane to me.
