My point was that they shouldn't unless their offer can compete with FAANG offers.

FAANG are spending billions a year to keep this process running, there are huge amounts of work put into trying to change or improve it. And some things do change, but the signals from doing algorithms is just too salient to throw away.
Not sure where you read "less pay" into my comment but fine, let's go with that and just ignore that quite a few companies immitate FAANG style hiring these days.
> Instead you should try to find the good candidates they miss. However there is really no reason for top companies to change their interviews.
Yeah, I feel like we're arguing two completely different things here, there's plenty of reasons for companies to change processes even if they work on some metric. When a large number of experienced participants in the fields you are hiring for are offering critique on your process it should be at least reason enough to talk about it, which is the whole point of discussions like these.
