How do you standardize this across applicants? I'd worry that there's not enough to compare across candidates doing something as generic as this.

In my experience it’s used as a prescreen qualification- the actual interview of multiple candidates happens afterwards or in a second round.
But aren't prescreens subject to the same subconscious bias as the actual interview?
Sure - but this is overt bias: “can programmer program?”
How do you know that’s actually what you’re measuring, and not, “can programmer execute a livestream programming session successfully?”
