Yes and no. They can decide not to show the captcha, but not how often it's repeated. The common issue with CF is not that they show a captcha before access. It's that you get just the captchas repeated and never get to the site.

If you're using CF for DDoS protection, then blocking and captchas are the features you want to use. Just not abuse.
