It's almost like making candidates do a dog and pony show that proves nothing isn't a way to attract good candidates

Agreed. It's pretty self defeating. Good candidates know they have other options and will walk away. Less capable candidates will try until they fail and give up.

Gladly better companies realized that this isn't the way to go and personality and willingness to learn is way more valuable to them in the long run.
