OK, but how is that a "business" for an exit relay?  Business implies 
profit or gaining some benefit.
You're saying that some exit relay operator would form business 
partnerships with sites, to provide captcha services?
Wouldn't that be detectable to the Tor Project - or not?
Does it make sense that an operator would limit their captcha service 
(for sale), to sites - only if site users / customers came thru the few 
relays they control?  Not much of a market.
Isn't that like Cloudfare only offering their services to a few sites 
out of the entire web?
