Its not really intended for that, it for bots that run thousands of clicks a minute to bring the site up in a search algorithm.

I think as a script thwarting method against low effort spam, they are over-engineered to the point of being hostile towards users because they indeed do try and target those types of spammers and bots, and also making the experience miserable for real people with hidden fail-states and shadow-bans and many hidden rules.
