Except it's some random company picking me for "extra checks" for no specified reason, and I don't even get a warning that there's this entity there.

There's literally a guard standing at the door. You are free to leave / not visit the site. And nobody owes you an explanation for the security practices of the business that you want to patronize.
Except that the guard in question is not under the business owner's control, and the business owner doesn't have a way to override the decision of the bouncer. In many cases, they don't even know how many customers the bouncer blocks.
This is after trying to enter, I can't retroactively opt out of the profiling and fingerprinting their captcha does for example.
