alt Hacker NewsI saw a post on the GrapheneOS forum of someone who was accosted by Google with this requirement, so they are certainly using it.
It's interesting the parallels of Google's recaptcha and Cloudflare turnstile.
Cloudflare is free, no image selector, allows VPNs and Tor for the most part, just 0 click with a good ip reputation and 1 click with a bad one.
Recaptcha is paid, trains waymos, sucks millions of hours of human time, asks for camera access, asks for a phone attestation, blocks VPNs/Tor.
Thank god less sites are using ReCAPTCHA.
Looking forward to some other solutions gaining prominence eventually as well.
Like that Anime girl one.

Cloudflare allows you to pass with 1 click? I had as many as 10 minutes of solving capchas on ot before turning away
I'm pretty sure, Cloudflare capchas could be endless
CloudFlare captcha blocks my Opera Mobile unless I switch the user agent back to mobile.

Or it goes on forever without passing, which can also happen, and then you simply can't proceed. It also really does not work over TOR in my experience.
I've had it happen a bunch of times, but Recaptch usually falls back to the image challenge if I can't pass V3. It might force me to solve several of them, but it eventually lets me pass.
