Respectfully, just because hackers can drive a truck through your app doesn't mean they should get to fly a plane, too. Its also easier for your users if you put a CAPTCHA in you registration form rather than your login form. This can mitigate large-scale fishing for usernames. Granted, that hacker who is going after a single poor soul who uses your service won't even feel the speedbump. But s/he is the toughest adversary, and the least common.
