You seem quite incensed by the anime girl of Anubis. Unfortunately for you it is here to stay for a while, along with cloudflair's implementation and others, as they do reportedly make a difference to the sites using them as shields. Until something better is found, the other option is that the resources otherwise serving more bot traffic than they can afford simply go dark which would be worse.

Equating bot prevention measures with “please give us permission for 1,000s of companies to stalk you around the Internet, no? Here are some dark patterns to try make you accidentally agree” is rather unfair IMO. They are an inconvenience but for the protection of the sites rather than for the betterment-of-adtech-via-conning-you-the-viewer-with-malicious-compliance.

> Bots can use async or virtual threads and not even have to hold on to a stack while they are waiting for this bullshit

They could, but given these methods seem to work currently most (almost all?) are not. They will start doing so if the amount of resources protected in this way increases to the point where it is worth it, or course, that is why memory-hard processes are being worked on which will make that route less practical.

> cookie banners, and of the that crap should be an automatic F grade on WCAG and should make web sites immediately liable for ADA lawsuits

I can't disagree there, though that would be quite an inefficient process and requires a bunch of money up front from who-ever champions the legal challenge, so I doubt it would actually be at all practical.
