You do not know how this (btw legitimate and big) business works. Human solvers do not directly interact with web resources being cracked (in order to be legitimate, cheap and automatizable).  
KeyCAPTCHA can't be re-transmitted to 3d parties.

reCAPTCHA was changed and many times but they cannot conceptually (due to their biz model and technical platform)  change its type and prevent spambots massively passing through it
Just google for "recaptcha cracked" for the last 3 days
