Bot is a very vague word, covering many different things.

Crawlers do not try to hide that they are bots, simply looking at the user agent is enough to tell they are a bot.

Social media bots try to hide that they are bots, both to the social media and to services like cloudflare. Any half-decent social media bot will exit through a domestic IP, not through an hosting provider IP, especially not in Yandex's AS. And their traffic will be categorized as human.
