Okay, I'm a decision maker overseeing some of those CICD pipelines belonging to a small corp (thankfully not the AI scrapers tho).

I don't make financial decisions, so I can't support FOSS from the corp coffers directly.

Other than caching (that we already do for security purposes), how can I limit our footprint in this?

Assess and cache your package pulls. Make sure you're not pulling unchanging data on each build. Cache partial builds, or proxy dependency-pulled packages.
