I've actually noticed this in some websites the past ~two months. It's neat to have a captcha that finally doesn't need slowly clicking images to pass through.

It's about creating at least a small barrier for not-very motivated people.

If a script kiddie wants to create a couple accounts and spam a bit, paying for and integrating such a service might just discourage them from actually taking the time.

Just a small cost if you're dedicated though, for sure
