The FizzBuzz test came about for similar reasons in 2007 - long before government pressures for DEI quotas[1].
The problem is computer science university degrees aren't enterprise training academies. "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." Universities aren't incentivized to fix this because universities are research institutions - they don't make money from placing students in jobs, so trying to solve this is a dead end.
