Product prices aren't sensitive from a user's point of view, and in fact several browsers are starting to include price comparison as a feature. The overall use case does seem solid in the public!=publicized sense, so I added a different example of public data that it can be harmful to allow scraping of.

Product catalogs also don't seem like a great example of IP that the web platform should work to protect, but I don't feel as strongly about that part of the change.
