Maybe I should conclude the following:

This encryption is not present in free articles from this website.

Therefore, paid articles cannot be scraped into Pocket but free articles can be scraped and sent into Kobo.

Is there any hope to solve it if I send the links to the Pocket helpdesk?
The issue is not encryption or anything in the html. Rather it is the fact that the pages you want are behind a server expecting validation that the requestor is entitled to see that page.

When you access that page, your browser prompts you for an ID / password and accepts a cookie from that site, and then the server can request that cookie to verify you do have access.

When you request Pocket to save that page, Pocket does not have access to your cookie, or ID / password, and the web server does not return the expected page to Pocket.
