Because it’s their responsibility to curate their own feeds.

Yes but those are a part of social media.
Content you dont like posted by people here on social media is not equivalent to botspam.

“Botspam” is when you have someone mass sending programs sending messages that do not enrich the content of the network. A bot that is mirroring perfectly good accounts from other platforms is far from the case.
Put another way: if the content is relevant to the point where part of the people want to have it, and if the content being mirrored has a proper context for some members of the community, then we shouldn’t count it as spam.

As you said: people are responsible for curating their own content. If they want that content they can go get it and post it.
