Solving captchas is pretty rare nowadays. Now you usually just press a button and then it does some sort of fingerprinting to determine if you're a human.
A lot of bots also use VPNs and Tor so captchas being a pain in the ass is probably working as intended, that way most people won't bother using services like that? This is different from regular internet users, there is no reason to make their life more difficult than necessary.
IPv6, 3G/4G/5G or public Wifi can increase that to about every 10 queries on Google for a CAPTCHA. I guess VPN too increase the probability to get a CAPTCHA.
