From what I can tell it's the standard Recaptcha prompt from the underlying Google platform and nothing to do with VM. All I have to do is tick the box "I'm not a robot" but others will be prompted to do different things depending on behavioural analysis and risk. The more likely they think you are to be a robot the more they will make you do to prove you're not.
It's the standard "new" Recaptcha system used by all the big providers:

Unless it's a different one they use when you login to the one on the Register page, in which case I can't remember my details so I can't check it.

Yes, it's the standard Recaptcha used by Google, Steam, Wordpress, and everyone else. Nothing to do with VM. It'll ask you to tick pictures of cats or salads or whatever if it can't tell you're human from clicking the checkbox. It can't track mouse movements on smartphones so that's why it comes up more often there.
If Noscript thinks what is probably the world's most widely used and simplest captcha system is a hacking attempt then IMO that's Noscript's problem, and still nothing to do with VM being muppets. Plus haven't VM chosen to move away from the Google platform anyway? So proving they're quite the opposite of what you claim!
