I don’t think it’s cheapening the labor… it’s a way to filter the pool at the cost of missing some gems.

Basically it will filter more bad than good but it will still filter good.

It's a poor filter and well tech salaries are artificially high the reality is most companies can afford to hire tens of thousands of developers to work on projects but instead then only hire the bare minimum.
