I think this wouldn't even be that bad of a thing (assuming that there's just so many candidates that you need some kind of filter), if it weren't for the issue pointed out in the study cited by the article: "But here’s a surprising finding: not a single woman in the public setting passed, while every woman in the private setting did."
That to me implies this isn't just an imperfect filter, but actually a very biased filter.
I expect for some companies, that pay 3-8X above average there should be a very large number of candidates. The really odd situation is the low paying, enterprise CRUD job that feels the need to use leetcode hard on their tiny pool of candidates that can't get jobs anywhere else.
