Seems like it would be relatively simple no? They control the app itself? Wouldn't it be trivial to put a signature to the app and see the typing speed, user actions, etc?

Google is doing that, you know all those "I am not a robot" things? Those are made by google mostly and uses a lot of such signals. Its not just clicking the right things its also how you click etc.

The reason some of those just have a checkbox without a challenge is that they already are sure enough so how you move to click the box is enough then.

This would be about as trivial as it'd be for YouTube to block yt-dlp.
