Welcome to bot detection. It’s a cat and mouse game, an ever changing battle where each side makes moves and counter moves. You can see this with the creation of captcha-less challenges.
But to say captcha are useless because bots can pass them is somewhat similar to saying your antivirus is useless because certain malware and ransomware can bypass it.
How are you measuring this? On my end, when I look at the metrics I have available to me, the volume of bot requests that are passing captcha does not exceed that of humans. We continually review false positives and false negatives to make sure we aren’t impacting humans while still making it hard for bots.

But they are better than humans at solving them.
