The same is historically (and notoriously) true of Microsoft. I think the point is more that with this kind of screen there is just an inherently high false negative rate. That's a problem only if it's actually preventing you from hiring successfully.

In the early 90's Microsoft went a little farther with their screening and designated which colleges they would hire from for certain types positions.

Google did that too. It is part of Marissa Mayer's abandoned legacy management.
