The site thought you were a bot (probably because you were browsing privately), so rather than assuming you are a human, it decided to challenge you traditionally.

Based on what? It assumes the same for me. There's zero information anywhere. When does it assume you're a human?

When I was logged in Google (I usually am), it didn't ask me to solve a captcha. When I tried from a private browser, it did.
So google-users are non-bots and non-googlers are bots? That sounds extremely poor. Especially considering you solved a captcha to create that same google account.
That's better than "everyone is a bot" though.
