At the risk of sounding snarky, it's form over function.

It is pretty snarky, considering this is a one-off use of a 3rd party captcha solution on a form only required for legal reasons for a time limited promotion.

I doubt the unique capture implementation was done for a one off limited time form, I would have thought that this is something Apple has cooked up for re-use across multiple projects and this just so happens to be one of the first.

The comment wasn't snarky, it was accurate.
