It is also plausible that because google analytics runs on so many sites that they could do something shady like put you in a pester segment if they see you coming from duckduckgo to other sites frequently. It is not hard to imaging using Recaptcha as a nuisance against other search traffic providers.

I doubt that many people would make a connection between their search engine and seeing captchas on other sites. So limited gain for, if anything, many unnecessary complaints.
