Clicking on them is very easy for a bot, that's why they don't just check that you have clicked them.

Your mouse movement is recorded and analyzed for unnatural behavior both before and after the click.

I had never thought about that. There'd still be some nuance to how you clicked on it, since you don't touch on just one point and you can touch with different pressure and for different lengths of time, but if thinks it's not enough then you'll just get one of those image classification popups to complete.

It's not just mouse movement. It has a ton of data on how you are interacting with the browser and uses all of it to determine if you are a bot or not. If it's not confident you are a human you get to answer a captcha. Some just ask you to answer a captcha every time.
