However, it turns out that bots are almost as good at solving captchas as humans, and they can retry a lot faster. Captchas are also really horrible from an accessibility perspective.
I have to disagree.
I previously put a captcha on a Joomla website which stopped 100% of all bogus account signup attempts.
What was it ? "How many letters are in the word 'jazz'"?
This captcha is fully accessible, too.
If there's a captcha problem out there, it's because too many people just use the same old, same old - which is worth the bots cracking because it is used everywhere.
Or they use google catcha crap, tracking vistors without permission and invading their privacy.
