It's not even a problem of a bar being too high. It's a problem of using the wrong bar. The intellectual laziness of using metrics like leetcode-like performance for hiring instead of evaluating applicable technical and soft skills blows my mind.

This is the key observation. It's mostly ok for the bar being too high, though it means companies miss out on good people.
But when the interview bar is in a random place completely unrelated to the job skills required, that is the fundamental problem in our industry.
