I think these tools underestimate the impact stress has on coders. I would dare to say more than 30% of ability can be impacted. Since coders rarely write code under extreme stress unless they work for stock market apps I don't see the point of having such a huge confounder.

Not all of "these tools" use stress as part of the evaluation. Kattis is one example that allow candidates unlimited amount of time. However it should be noted I think it's possible to increase the time using these other tools up to some max limit.
