It's unfortunate that your work is being used in such a massively economically wasteful manner.
The core issue is - it's all computers. The reason you can't reliably detect the difference between an average user using a computer to log in to your computer versus a fairly sophisticated computer using a computer to log in to your computer is that the transition between user and tool is not smooth. It is always going to be easier to find the various boundary points between user and tool than it is to construct a passable simulation of the user using that tool.
Yes, bot detection does make account hijacking attempts more expensive, but it makes all logins more expensive, and the rate of expense increases faster for you than it does the account hijackers.
