First off, why do you automatically assume Chinese kids crack captchas? Anyone could if they wanted.
Second off, it's not always for money. Sometimes people are either bored, or dumb. It depends.

Not all spammers do it for money, which was my point, that you failed to realize.

Lots. Plus, a smart enough spammer doesn't need to hire captcha crackers. He/she/it could figure it out themselves if they wanted to.

Dudes, welcome to 2013. Here just one of many example of tools using automated captcha solving:
root@reptile:/home/hpfrosch# apt-cache show slimrat
Description-en: GUI application for automated downloading from file hosters
Provides a graphical interface for automatically downloading files from hosting providers. Slimrat is also capable of captcha solving using tesseract for optical character recognition.
No chinese kids sitting in basements solving captchas all day, sorry.
