The CATPCHAs might not appear for everyone, but automated JavaScript challenges seem to be required on some sites regardless of your IP (and without JavaScript, you just get stuck in a refresh loop on the challenge page).
It's a real slap in the face to have to enable JavaScript just to gain access to a site, especially if it's a site that doesn't even use JavaScript, or a site that you don't entirely trust.
The funny thing is that it's entirely possible to open a bunch of these tabs in the background (e.g. search for 'site:somesitethatusescloudflare' and just middle click some results that interest you for later reading) and forget about them while they sit there refreshing over and over again, until you really do get blocked (assuming they keep track of unanswered challenges like they do for failed ones).
