I'm not saying the explanation you propose is impossible. It isn't. It's just highly improbable. Why dont you elaborate on why you think a $1.2 Billion company with 20 years of R&D in threat identification, which was founded on the idea of identifying (email) spam, and was one of the first (maybe the originator of) "firewall in the cloud" services lacks the technical sophistication to identify legitimate connections from known VPN sources without imposing a captcha delay - a method which is, at best, of limited value in identifying bots.
"It's too complicated for them" is just not sufficient.
Can you elaborate on why it’s not a technically valid reason?
I don’t think they are sophisticated enough to differentiate between multiple people using the same IP.
So when there’s a lot of traffic coming from one IP, they don’t know if it’s 100 people or 1 person generating 100 people’s worth of traffic, and that makes them uncomfortable.
Though I think websites that respect their users should embrace VPNs.
