It's the same exact thing - if some company makes you jump through hoops to get hired that you find distasteful just don't apply to company.

You don't know their interview process unless it's one of the big tech companies though.

Not all of us are market extremists. The “invisible hand of the market” doesn’t care about human rights.

I don't understand what you're saying. We're not talking about the market exploiting labor because before you are hired by the company you're not labor for the company. Is this really that difficult to understand?

But sometimes also machines. ACLs are enforced by machines, and everyone is fine with that.
I can't imagine this kind of entitlement. If you don't want to work for them, don't study leetcode. If you want to work for them (and get paid tons of money), study leetcode. This isn't a difficult aristotelian ethics/morals question.
