Seeing that reCAPTCHA v3 doesn't use endless streams of images any more, I would guess that Google no longer benefits much from having users tag storefronts, traffic lights, buses or fire hydrants. Maybe their image recognition algorithm is past that stage.

It does as a fallback. But you’re missing the main point of v3, which is that it shifts the legal onus of blocking from Google to the integrating site. No longer can Google be sued for accessibility violations, if it’s the site that’s stopping the user from entering purely on a suggestion from Google.

Just because you do some technically workarounds doesn't mean you get a legal free pass.

I don't think this aspect did matter much because it was always the sites decision to use reCAPTCHA and that didn't change.

I also don't think Google gets much profit out of the image tagging part anymore, they already have a huge database of tagged images.

On the other hand, I've been effectively banned from several sites because I don't accept third-party requests to Google from non-Google sites as a result of this change.
