I understand there are different reasons behind the use of

Nonsense. There is no reason why the usage of Captcha's would need
to present accessibility problems.
No offense, but please look into it.
You are welcome to explain, rather then just assert, what is
inherent about the concept of a Captcha that would force
accessibility problems upon a website.
Read your own reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha
That says:
Accessibility
See also: Web accessibility
Because CAPTCHAs rely on visual perception, users unable to view a
CAPTCHA (for example, due to a disability or because it is difficult
to read) will be unable to perform the task protected by a CAPTCHA.
As such, sites implementing CAPTCHAs may provide an audio version of
the CAPTCHA in addition to the visual method. The official CAPTCHA
site recommends providing an audio CAPTCHA for accessibility reasons.
Why should I have to explain something that is widely known and easy to find?
Please do the reading before telling people such things are nonsense.
Cheers,
tedd
