How about you just read up on Cloudflare Turnstile instead of acting like you know anything? Here are some notable methods:

Residential IP requirements
TLS Fingerprinting
Canvas Fingerprinting

It's still possible to get around these but it's not easy. You either must have as good network engineers on staff as Cloudflare or pay some third party service to unlock it for you. All Cloudflare needs to do is keep their prices lower than the third party services.
