I think that's completely besides the point. Sony actually bothered to make a couple of plain-text letters look like a captcha image just for the sake of it. That's just a clear misunderstanding of what these things are for and why they are the way they are.
As to your point, Captchas have a completely legitimate use-case that you can sometimes see on Google and Amazon. If they start to have some doubts about whether you are a human being they will present you with a Captcha image to solve. Otherwise, you should be regarded innocent until proven guilty.

But grandparent implies that this extends to the websites of large companies for which people have a lot to gain by creating specialized bots, which is pretty obviously not true.
