You can opt out of recaptcha by just boycotting the website which uses it.
But of course by "opt out" you mean to remain a user of a service but not the parts you don't like. Whether you are entitled to do this or not is still up for debate.
Google users are not the only target of Google's data mining, so this is extremely disingenuous. I'm not even sure how to define a Google user.
Furthermore the comment seemed in reference to the origins of fascist political ideology in Europe and their relation to what happened when data mining was weaponized against a population.

Not entirely. I can choose not to use Gmail or similar services.
I can opt out of Google ads+tracking only because I'm technically adept enough. I can't (realistically) opt out of reCaptcha.
