Well, imo captchas are still useful in pages like sign up or contact page.

It may work well without a captcha for years until someone desides to spam the contact form with 1000s of messages or register hundreds of fake accounts just to harm the business.

But I agree - overusing captchas is dumb and will only irritate a user
