So attackers cannot password spray. This is typically after attackers has gotten access to the latest database breach, and are just blindly trying username/password combinations.

A simple ratelimit takes care of that. Plus, it's not like attackers would be easily defeated by a CAPTCHA anyway --- there are services selling batches of valid tokens, likely generated by actual humans or very close emulations thereof, for ReCAPTCHA.
