“[X] Show Bot Accounts”?
Yes, you can uncheck it to ignore all bots. But then you also ignore useful bots like TL;DR, link converters and such.
It would be nice to have better control here, more fine granular. On the other hand, I’m not sure if we really need spammy bots like lemmit.online/u/bot and zerobytes.monster/u/bOt who mostly advertise for reddit.
Not only but also because, new lemmy users won’t be aware how to control their settings, and be faced with an All-feed which consists of mostly bot posts with zero upvotes and zero comments. Then they leave and never come back.

Bots like that suck. :(
I don't know why people want to step in and break something people are running for free without every even glimpsing a profit for doing so.

If you want a crackpot conspiracy theory: It’s Spez paying for bots to ruin Lemmy. If he can’t get rid of bots on his own platform, he can try to make the competition worse.
