That's common sense, not schizophrenia. You'd have to be dummyed to complete a Cloudflare captcha outside of a VM.
It functions by fingerprinting your browser and comparing that fingerprint with other signals like your user-agent and TLS fingerprint to catch inconsistencies.
I don't mind modern captcha approaches like that, it's more convenient for humans than a traditional challenge and often harder for bots to bypass too, but Cloudflare's implementation is insidious.

When you click the checkbox, you're consenting to this privacy policy. That's the only reason the checkbox is there. It could run automatically and still be just as effective at blocking bots, but then their data collection wouldn't be legal.
According that privacy policy they collect "a variety of client-side signals (“Signals”) such as client IP address, TLS Fingerprint, User-Agent Header and Sitekey and associated origin.". "associated origin" is particularly important here because it means they're recording which site your fingerprint was sent from alongside the fingerprint itself.

That gets scary pretty quick when you consider that over 60% of websites online today use Cloudflare.
Do a Cloudflare captcha to log into your bank account then do another one to access the soyboy forum? Cloudflare knows that traffic came from the same person. Even a VPN won't save you because they're fingerprinting your browser too.
Really makes you wonder what their motive for offering such a generous free plan is...


Noscript allows you to disable JS from certain origins. I'd imagine he blocked JS from Cloudflare but allowed the forum's JS.
I'm not booting up a vm everytime I want to post on shitty.forum
