Thank W3C for caving into the Corporations that want to remove the Openness from the web-standards that allow for this kind of nonsense.

Google is the biggest offender after all their entire business is Tracking and Ads but it seems they get a pass as being an "offender" from most people

Note that "most people" (even individuals) also happily insert Google Analytics snippets on their own blogs or websites. I see that all the time thru uMatrix. So it's far from "Google being a bad actor" alone.

People also pile on Google for Recaptcha when it's actually users like website operators and Cloudflare who are using it to avoid abuse.

Might as while pile on the bad/abusive actors for causing the scenario that makes people use captchas at all.
