It really dependa of your ip. If you're in a block that has a bad rep, you'll have the captcha every single time. This seems legitimate but this is definitely not applied per ip, it's apply per ip block. I have a server that i rented for more than 10 years now, used only as a mail server and a vpn endpoint, i get captcha everytime when I use my vpn.

Now, for someone who lives in a country where ISPs have a bad rep, this makes part of the web horrible. People are then considered as bad actors by default with no way to improve their experience.
