The web UI may not have a standard API, but it is just HTTP calls like everything else. You can make it harder for bots, but if a browser can do it, a bot can do it without a browser.

And even if all big instances got real good at stopping bot accounts, federation means they can spool up spam servers too.

It's a scaling problem that I fear will end with the fediverse being as spammy as email (One of the original federated communication platforms)
