In order to ensure that all operations within the captcha element work,
we need a captcha adapter to be passed to the element on instantiation.
This can be done, as you have in the first example, by passing data to
use in the factory, or by passing a concrete instance.
We are considering refactoring to allow setting the captcha late -- but
there are a number of places that would be affected, and it would
introduce complexity that we're not sure is warranted.
