Yes, you can get sued. It's against their TOS, so they can allege damages.

Scraping seems like it’s is far more frowned upon than botting imo

There's many many more examples of this. What generally happens is once the bot provider gets to a noticeable size the legal teams go after them. It doesn't really matter what side of the law you are on, they will make it very expensive for you to operate.
