You're confused. The attackers aren't using Wget, but they are
*claiming* to be WGet.

But that long list of user agents being blocked that you previously

I don't block WGet myself, I haven't seen enough abuse. There's more from
Meta and Amazon, and I probably shouldn't block them, either. (Meta and
Amazon both have crawlers that ignore requests for throttling, I know some
webmasters block them for that reason.)
But I'm sure that other webmasters have different experiences. I don't find
it surprising when anything is blocked anymore (although blocking Firefox
seems a bit much).
