I've made plenty of websites, still don't love them and still get served 5+ captchas sometimes, straight after each other. Perhaps I have to give them money, then I'll love them?
It's still just barking up the wrong tree. You're seeing a downstream effect of widespread abuse on the internet and complaining about people trying to mitigate it.

Isn't CloudFlare infamously known for refusing to take action against clients who are causing the problems (e.g. DDoS services that make use of CloudFlare's services)?

I host my local community graveyard website and I've had no issue with forms. These forms are for tour bookings and contact.
And yes they are causing the problems. They restrict me because I use my own self-hosted colocated VPN in the same country on a proper dedicated IP with rDNS.

We solved spam submissions on forms way before Cloudflare appeared, it isn't exactly a new problem...
