Sure, but, there's nothing incentivizing the candidate to not waste time. At the very least, they can get free interview practice.
I get that that's very annoying when you're on the hiring side, but it's not all so bad in the end, you're getting paid for your time!
GP specifically stated that this was the point of the takehome though. If the person handing it out specifically warns you that struggling with it means you aren't a good fit then if you struggle with it that's not imposter syndrome - you aren't a good fit! Not dropping out at that point is just refusing to acknowledge reality and insisting on wasting everyone's time.
