Isn't that the point of a hiring process?

It depends on how you want to understand language.

The point of a hiring process is to exclude candidates that are legitimately not suitable for the role.

A reasonable contextual interpretation of the grandparent comment is that the hiring process will end up excluding suitable candidates for illegitimate reasons.

Whether they should have to slavishly spell this out in a message board comment is a hot topic.

They should, because otherwise they're just virtue signalling, not making an argument.
