I see you don’t understand why people make websites or systems. Or why people make bread.

I don’t make application so that users benefit or to make them happy. I make applications so that I can earn money.

Earning money requires having human on the other side. Just like you are not making bread to make bread and throw it into a shredder.

If someone has scheme where automation is beneficial they will create API for their system. You should use API if I provide one. But when I create UI then I create it for people to use it.

This is why most commercial software is so bad.

And open source maintainers are burning out or writing rants how no one wants to pay.

There is no “non commercial software” that is better even if commercial is bad it is still better than non existing one.

Why not both, make money and benefit people. I think that’s what earning money means. Otherwise you’re just making money at someone else’s cost.

You always have to do software in a way that people will benefit because otherwise they will not pay.

Read again my down voted post and think about the sentence in context of post where "Fice" wrote: "Telling computers and humans apart is a wrong goal.".

Then add to that topic of CAPTCHA and that CAPTCHA is annoying for users so adding CAPTCHA is not beneficial for users so it specific case and discussed in context.
