Because many sites now employ specialized software and services (Cloudflare is the only one I know by name) to specifically detect and block access when there isn't a full browser with a user sitting at it. Any site that has ads has a profit motive to make sure your eyes see the ads.
To bring it back full circle, why you and not everybody; applying that level of blocking to everybody slows everything down and burns more CPU cycles and electricity. So it's also common that different levels of detection and blocking are applied to different lists of IPs.
