Am I missing something or does deform not have a CAPTCHA?

If not perhaps you could integrate this widget that I found on
github... https://gist.github.com/701444

Perhaps there is a good reason for it not having this feature? Maybe a
better alternative to captcha's?

Captcha usually depends on retaining state between browser requests
associated with the same user (aka a "session"). Each web framework has
their own way of dealing with this. Deform is not dependent on any
particular web framework, and cannot supply the necessary machinery to
do it by itself. So if someone makes a captcha widget it will have to
be distributed as an add-on.

I guess now that I read that gist, though, reCaptcha doesn't rely on any
particular sessioning system, but does require a private key. In any
case, I think this is a perfect use case for an add-on.
