> Normal visitors get in for free

Except for the unfortunate minority of normal visitors who always get misclassified as bots and get denied access regularly.

I wouldn’t be complaining if Cloudflare’s misclassifier bit any user with the same small probability. But it keeps biting the same users over and over again.

It'll bite any user that the bots will copy. Every trick a user might use to make themselves unrecognisable on the web is also used by a bot farm somewhere out there.

Website owners that use Turnstile and other such services choose to exclude these users. A tiny margin of false positives isn't going to dissuade most website owners, I imagine only the ones that themselves have issues with Cloudflare will bother to add the necessary rules to permit uncommon users (and the bots that copy them).
