Sometimes, people just do dumb choices, there is nothing to understand except plain lazyness, there is better captchas, free, non-invasive, more secure, GDPR compliant and so-on that are also not covered by captcha-solving providers, so what's the positive argument about reCaptcha?
A very strong brand?
You really think it's the reason? I've worked with many developers, and they use reCaptcha just because they are used to it and did it in the past, I doubt customers love the "reCaptcha branding", to the contrary, nicer captchas (or even invisible ones, even better) improve retention.
"Because I'm used to it" is what a strong brand is.
