FizzBuzz trips people up for all kinds of reasons: fear of ‘gotcha’ questions, nerves, overthinking, or even feeling insulted by how basic it is. Sure, some fail because they can’t program—but passing doesn’t mean much either. It just means they’re good at FizzBuzz, not necessarily at solving real problems.

Sure, some qualified people fail simple problems. More likely the applicant failed because they didn't pay attention in school and made a career of copy-pasting stuff from stackoverflow(or AI these days).
