It’s pretty common in a killchain following a server side request forgery since the traffic isn’t seem by the WAF.

Sure. Fine. It means all of that now.
But what are we going to call the difficult thing that we have to do to coax, say, unstructured event listings into reasonably structured data?

So scraping means any harvesting of data now?
We need a new name for the fairly painful process of trying to tease meaning out of people’s unstructured HTML.
In any case downloading a bunch of stuff from JSTOR was not scraping. And he absolutely had authorised access to that data. They took exception to the quantity, mainly.
Of course it isn’t.
It was behind a WAF. But that didn’t matter for the path traversal in this attack.
