If I'm hiring for a real time video streaming platform, I probably don't want to hire a backend dev who has 0 experience in the field and takes 100x thr time, so this seems fine.

The point of the assignment isn't to make it "fair" (in some loose sense), but to filter out candidates.

True to some extent, but you usually don’t want to filter out all candidates who don’t have extensive experience in the exact domain you’re working in, otherwise you’d never hire anyone.
