Hi i'm not sure how do you disable captcha module since this module dependency magento checkout. If completely disable module may break checkout function. The safe way to disable use config in backend instead disable complete captcha

https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2.4-develop/app/code/Magento/Captcha/etc/module.xml

Any use-cases for reason disable captcha functional

Extra use this module for find modules you can disable

yes but issue is that enabling captcha cause extra 5 unwanted request call in network even when disabled from admin

[mrtuvn]

This is incorrect, the dependency works the other way, it means: disabling the checkout may break the captcha module (even though this sounds unlikely). Also, the dependencies defined in the module.xml file are soft dependencies, so we can't really rely on that information.
