Scrapers can pay a commercial service to Mechanical Turk their way through reCAPTCHA. It makes a meaningful difference to scraping costs at scale, but sometimes it's still profitable.

I'd pay for a service to do this for me as an ordinary end user, so i never have to solve a captcha myself again.

You would still have to wait for each captcha to be solved, which might be more frustrating than doing it yourself.
