This is like saying no lock will stop a thief. Cost and difficulty matter, and requiring a full browser increases the challenge for an attacker enough that some people will give up and others won’t be able to send as much traffic. That’s not perfect but speaking from experience a surprising fraction of people will give up after a naive attack fails.
