But also far superior to reCaptcha from a bot's perspective using Tor. Don't get me wrong: I also hate solving a gazillion captchas only because I'm using a VPN or get outright denied because my IP address happens to be a Tor exit node. At the same time you have to acknoledge that captchas don't stop bots, only slow them down or increase their operating costs. People in third world countries happily solve one image recognition challenge by Google or hCaptcha for far less than a penny. If Google's goal is to drive the costs up for malicious bot operators, then they're definitely doing the right thing. In the end, it won't stop them either since buying a couple thousand infected computers is probably not that expensive, but it is yet another stepping stone for anyone trying to bypass their captcha.
