With COVID and the rise of remote working there are a whole lot of companies where the developers are the asset, the commodity, where those companies are just the middle-man receiving for the work the developers do and getting the big part of the cut in the process.
Those are mostly the "sweat-shops" that hire developers that can work for less for several reasons. I see that in this particular case this solution might be very welcome to assess new hires.
But for more high-profile jobs and companies, the company that eventually follow this path will probably end with low quality hires, unless of course it just create crud's anyway.
Because this is a self-fulfilling prophecy in the end. Once the candidates know what they will face, they will train until they get good in that game, which most of the time doesn't mirror the qualities required for the job.
