I wouldn't worry about that. There are literally too many people with your background for this too matter.

I think there will be a form of credential-ism and it will continue to be similar to the tech interview.

Outright credentialism—of the right sort—would be so very much better than the FAANG tech interview, provided anyone could attempt to gain the credential through e.g. a one-off test maybe with refreshers every 5 or 10 years, without some required formal educational background. So, so much better.

It'd take a union to force FAANG into that, though, because it'd make job mobility much easier, so tend to increase wages.
