This would hypothetically be a possible way, but there's two issues with it:

False positives could never be verified, and as such, if you are the victim of one, it's your word against theirs. And they usually control whatever you're trying to access, so they will take the benefit of their doubt and block you anyways.
These companies have very little incentive to go this way unless it saves them money, since this requires more expensive engineers to build and maintain. Afaik it's always been cheaper for them to just circumvent what little regulations there are and do things the easy way.
