Has been said many times before but the problem is that you look like any other bot that also doesn't save cookies or have any past history. How do you expect recaptcha to identify you from those bots? Or more, how do you expect the websites to identify bots and stop things like credential stuffing attacks (even if recaptcha isn't perfect at stopping those either) without heavily investing in things like the anti-bot systems banks use?

I don't know, and at this point, I don't care.
Sites have brought this sort of thing on themselves by enabling (or directly engaging in) the abuse of users. That abuse forces me to take a very defensive posture when browsing the web. It's simply a matter of self defense.
If that means that I can't access the sites, whether it's because of recaptcha or other issues, then I won't access the sites. Easy.
