OK, so what are the alternatives, what can developers use instead?

their own. Captcha's have existed since forums. If you've not been on the dark-net some of those are really cool.

Developers implement what they are told to implement. People who make those decisions in companies just don't give a damn, they will happily use whatever is easier/cheaper. Usually something from TooBigTech, sponsored by surveillance capitalism.
