That part where you say "people enjoy making the process worse", seems unlikely to me. When people make stuff like this, I kind of doubt anyone is sitting there thinking "Mwhahaa these little bitches are gonna hate this!"
Like, I get it. This would probably piss me off as an applicant too. But ultimately, the goal is to hire someone. Initial phone interviews are all the same. They last like 10 or 15 minutes even with a human on the line, and they're just looking for basic qualifications. So I also see from the hiring perspective how this could be useful. It's meant as a baseline filter.
It might be a step in the right direction but it sounds like it's not ready yet.
