Bots can and do check those boxes, as well as all the variants you can think of. They don’t stop serious bot makers, but they do stop just any random person or bot. It’s a bit of an arms race with companies trying to make captcha’s more complex so bot’s can’t pass them, and bots getting better and better at passing them.

There’s also a service available that you can put into your bot program that will actually call a real live human, usually in a 3rd world country, who will click the box/ solve the issue, and then the bot program continues on it’s way. A sort of human driven bot program, and you can do it for pennies.
