The bar is higher than needed to fill the positions (several people in the thread say they work in senior positions at a FAANG and wouldn't pass the interview). So good enough candidates are being rejected, so they shouldn't need special visas for people from abroad that are intended for real labour shortages, it would seem.

(but I'm not from the US so don't actually care)

They wouldn’t pass the interview *without studying. And studying is expected for these interviews. That doesn’t mean the bar is to high. It just means the bar is an indirect metric not testing exact job experience/knowledge.
