Does a proof-of-work faucet solve testnet faucet frustrations?

I recently built a proof-of-work faucet openfaucet.org. Just curious to other blockchain developers out there if obtaining testnet tokens is also a common frustration riddled with sign ups and mainnet balance requirements or if I am just solving something based on my personal experiences? I understand that faucets are riddled with bots nowadays so my intention is to deter them with compute cost that scales with usage.

Hey, I created a new PoW faucet to tackle a common frustration as a developer. The intention is to be a primarily community driven and for distributing small amounts of testnet tokens but with less barriers. Especially for situations where you just need a bit but don't want the hastle of obtaining a mainnet balance or sharing socials etc.

Any idea where faucets often get their testnet token funds from? I found a few like polygon have a convenient form for these processes but almost all others have no clear route.
