I just had a look through that addon, and it's doing exactly what you suggest (webscraping). Unreliable, icky, but should work briefly before the BBC change the website and break it again. This is so much worse than the RSS feeds, sigh...
The only even vaguely suspicious-looking part is an URL in the addons.xml, but that turns out to be a Limelight auth key, whatever that is. Nothing is sent to remote sites, nothing is written anywhere by the plugin that I can see.
Given the previous actions from at least one individual in that organisation I wouldn't want their code on my pc or want to be reliant on them to provide me with any addon.
Hopefully someone within this site can come up with some clean Kodi python code, until then my £9:99 impulse buy of a Now TV box is going to have to suffice.
