It's a reflection of the workplace as an extension of the frat house environment that many workers at these places cherished. So if you enjoyed that kind of college environment (recall that the average age of such places tend to be very young), then such a company will feel natural.

Yes, I believe that there's an element of implicit bias to it. It's one of those murky things that gets bundled up with "culture fit" as spurious reasons to reject candidates who don't look and act like you do. Hence the "shibboleth" comment.
It's a complicated question. What's innocent, non-coercive fun for a small group of responsible people can get wildly out of control with one bad hire. And we don't do interviews for "angry drunk"....
