Consider yourself lucky. I routinely run into tarpit Google reCAPTCHAs and I don't even use a VPN. I think it's because I run Linux and the site admins treat anything besides Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android Chrome as suspicious enough to blacklist. It has gotten to a point that I literally never even _try_ to do image-based CAPTCHAs anymore. If I can't access the site, oh well.

(purposeful) It may seem purposeful on Google's part but I bet that if we could get through to the developers for answers, it's probably not designed that way but we're running into a case where the system isn't designed to handle it Which could be said to be intentional (excluding people with our FOSS setup), I guess
