Yes, but scraping is a small part of the overall puzzle. As developers, we overestimate how valuable tools are (as opposed to solutions). I think the better opportunity is not to be another scraping-as-a-service provider, but to niche down to a solution that uses your scraping technology.
If you start yet another scraping-as-a-service provider, you're attempting to provide a paid service for people who just want to steal content for free. Not gonna work.
Scraping as a service can be profitable if you target people who are looking for leads to cold email/spam. Lead gen is one of the few areas you can easily charge $100 as your entry level package and at that price it's very easy to make money if you have half decent marketing.
There are legit use cases for browser automation, but a ton of bad actors too. I think your point illuminates something that many fail to fully consider:
What are all the ways my service/software can be abused?
