Well exactly, you're a low value target, a 0$ value target, a bad actor would actually loose money by trying to spam you, so of course no one even tried, but you could be spammed to death in less than a hour of work
>If your forms are juicy goals for targeted attacks this might be a different matter, but how about just paying a bunch of devs to program it for your state and open-source it?
Because it's a really hard problem and it would cost a lot of money while probably not even being really effective, and reducing your revenue at the same time because your UX is probably a lot more terrible than the existing solutions?
+BTW the captcha in recaptcha is not even the main value of this service, the main value is the bot detection algorithms that run before/during/after the captcha, which gives you a "human/bot" score before you even filled the captcha
Good luck reproducing that in every company that needs it.
It would cost a ton of money with really lame results most of the time

My issue with this is: Every public government website on earth is going to have this problem. The obvious solution is that governments invest public money into solving the problem resulting in public code. Sure a way has to be found how governments can build and maintain digital infrastrucure, maybe on a state level, maybe on a multinational level, beyond just a one-off thing.
