> Wouldn’t you rather answer the questions on your own time without someone else putting you on the spot? Honestly no, as you might spend loads of time crafting the perfect response, only to find that they hadn't really worded the question in a way that meant your answered what they were really thinking. This happens often enough in in-person interviews as it is, but atleast you can hope to course-correct by looking at how they respond.
The lack of time-bounding is a real problem for those who have genuine time-commitments outside of work |

Also, if "everyone" has a 1 hour interview (or whatever) then you're more-or-less comparing equal things. If some people use a week to craft their "asynchronous" responses while some have an hour to do so (because they're already employed, say, or have a family) then you're not comparing apples to apples.
Similar for "take home code exercises": it's impossible to compare them meaningfully because you have no idea if the better-looking one took the candidate an hour or several days (and yes, I've been on both sides of this).
