Tor is not the only tool out there to protect privacy/circumvent restrictions. It has flaws by design, such as all traffic has to pass through limited number of known exit nodes, and you cannot easily filter out unwanted stuff, so a CAPTCHA in one form or another is pretty much the only solution. If you suggesting to just replace it with some easier implementation, it would be automated. So the solution is on the users' side. Just choose another approach that works for you, such as VPN. You won't get CAPTCHA'd, privacy still protected, problem solved. One way or another, technically inclined users are not the ones experiencing problems with restrictions.
