Just because it's called authentication doesn't mean that all possible applications of it qualify. Following directions provided by the owner isn't breaking into the system. Clicking "Yes I'm over 18" when you aren't isn't a violation of the CFAA any more than any other ToS violation is.
What matters isn't the box presenting the challenge but rather the nature of the challenge itself.

But for some weird reason, I bet you’ll find no one except e.g. Yandex is willing to code their AI scraper to attempt passwords at websites — because, as noted, only a courtroom can determine with certainty the exposure to legal risk here, and so long as usage isn’t widespread there’s no profit in accepting that risk.
