With the number of applications that they must get there's no way they can afford to talk to everyone, let alone fly them out.
Therefore they need some way to filter people quickly. Would it be better to do this purely on the basis of resume? Forcing people to invest time making sure they have the correct mixture of buzzwords or would you rather spend that time demonstrating that you can actually code?

This really depends on whether they chose particular people to contact directly or whether those applicants contacted the company. Sure, the 1000s of applications these companies get every month must be filtered quickly, but if someone was selected for a "cold call" by the employer (presumably based on some research), then handing him menial tasks upfront is a terrible idea and unacceptable for the probably more skilled people typically contacted this way.
