It sure seems to keep me, the casual visitor, far away from just about any site they "protect". I have zero desire to alter my browsing configuration or use extra tools to get around turnstile, I'd rather not even visit the site in the first place.

Overwhelming majority of customers doesn't even know they can care. And most of them wouldn't anyway. So your vote doesn't matter to anyone but you, sadly.
