Unfortunately, Arkose is one of the only viable products for stopping credential stuffing and other similar attacks. It has been implemented at several companies I've worked at because there are just not enough alternatives.

The main value-add for companies like Arkose is that they have teams monitoring and changing the aggressiveness of the challenges as new attackers try to get around them. With a product like Recaptcha, you are inevitably completely screwed when attackers get around it.

If attackers get around reCAPTCHA, you are screwed, but so is half the Internet, including Google themselves. Do you think Google would not care about an increase in spam and would not try to fix reCAPTCHA?

You will not get the same level of support from Google as you will from a vendor dedicated to this. Ironically, HBO Max is the main case study on reCAPTCHA Enterprise's landing page, which I guess did not work out for exactly this reason: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/identity-security/how...
