Description

This issue has been migrated from [#11922](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11922).

---

Reports received during FOSDEM that enabling the `enable_registration_captcha` or `registration_requires_token` options make those features required for registering a guest account, which is unexpected - especially when people are registering guest users only for the purpose of pulling data from matrix rooms for non-chat use cases.
