In fact, several websites (such as Capezio, ProMods Map, and WHEELS.ca) have
reCAPTCHA challenge enabled. Those sites just want to make sure
that all visitors are humans. Feel free to visit those sites above

Why on earth would we want to make it harder for people to read the website?
Because the website with reCAPTCHA challenge feature may violate "secure it without overdoing it" principle, that is, their webmasters tighten website security so much as to make their website harder to access.
