  Comments:
sankoku also lists in the order 捕らわれる, 囚われる, as one entry (omitting the other two forms).  But this seems to be contradicted by the numbers.

Thought about [note="esp. 捕らわれる"] on [1], but not even sure of that. Maybe it would be appropriate. It ekes out a win for 敵 and 政府, but I can't find any other obvious victories.

囚 is clearly the dominant kanji form(no problem finding it in modern news articles either). My guess is that a very literal [1] has a small affinity for 捕 (which gets it listed first in the kokugos) while the metaphoric [2] strongly favors 囚 , which is far more productive (representing the lion's share of ngrams). Or, it may be that 捕 is common in related verbs (捕る), while this seems to be the *only* common verb form stemmed from 囚(and the dictionaries prefer 捕 for that reason).  

Small twitter sanity check, 
年齢に囚われない 12 in april
年齢に捕らわれない 1 in 2023 so far
年齢に捉われない 4 in april
年齢にとらわれない 6 in april
