Aren't these shitty interview processes just gates and proxies for commitment and a dark pattern per se? If someone is willing to do the work and endure the shitty process to get the job then they must be committed to get the job and will likely be committed to keep the job. That commitment can be exploited. It's like Nigerian Prince scams, those willing to jump through the hoops are more easily to convince and get jumping through future hoops. It's also likely they will rationalize that their job is great because they had to do all this shit to get it. The employer could think "if we can get their foot in the door and convince them to fully enter the room even though we make it difficult to fully open the door, they're less likely to leave and more likely to fight to stay in the room." It keeps uncommitted folks out, but doesn't necessarily filter for competent people, just committed people. Cognitive dissonance is a powerful thing.
