This is not Unreal Tournament, so

Bots are a very poor decision in my opinion in modern first person video games. Video games for the majority (non-content creators) are for entertainment purposes, and I don't know a ton of people who want to shoot bots over real players. It's one of the reasons why single player titles are in decline.

If someone does something spectacular, but then noticed it was a bot, that can ruin the core experience forever with that title, and it can lower retention. The player could second guess everything they do, to the point where they start to think everyone is a bot, then get killed by a real player just drives them to just leave the game altogether.

Bots are a fun concept to learn the basic skills with a new title, but never a good idea to mix them into the core experience like what DICE has done. Someone will argue it works for older titles in series like Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142, but honestly how many people actually play those titles today.

I wouldn't be surprised if at some point Battlefield 2042 gets the ability to disable bots. Also, EA should stop calling them A.I. because they're not. A.I. would be able to write it's own code, these bots can't do that.

It's not an agreement about what worked for titles in the past, but what will work today in video game entertainment. In my mind it's real players vs other real players.
