So, to hit it from the other side: maybe none of that matters.
For an industry practice that everbody is saying is so badly broken, people sure seem to be making it work--or sidestepping the braindamage.
For CTFs like Starfighter, or for any take-home work product exam that is objective ("Pass the tests, meet the performance requirements, etc."), the emphasis is placed on the deliverable and not on the candidate, right?
Which in turn suggests a question--is this perhaps a signal that we don't need to be hiring employees at all if we can just spec out the work correctly and the associated acceptance criteria?

Try to get any work completed by "spec[ing it] out" on Amazon Mechanical Turk and you'll quickly find the value of employees (or at least, of using "hiring"-like processes to build a pool of known-good contractors and using them for all your work.)
