Your argument is a tautology, it doesnt examine any merits of the system, and is no different from: "You have - companies that settled on using skin colour, who have been able to attract top tallent that has cleared this bar."

Or: "World's best banks and world's best traders have invested in subprime mortgages, they couldn't all be wrong?"

// is no different from

Using skin color for hiring is illegal and immoral and the government does not allow it.

Issuing sub primes is bad for business and blew up pretty quickly.

If asking programmers programming questions is "no different" from the above, which is it: illegal or bad for business?

Subprime mortgages were a thing for longer than leetcode was.

If they were bad for business, why was it a common practice for so long? Does a business have no clue what's bad for business? Or is it just self destructive?

If "it's an established practice" argument also enconoasses things that are bad for business, and things that are immoral and illegal, maybe it's not a strong argument?
