I kind of disagaree because there are a lot of programmers with a college degree that doesnt know how to program. How would that company know someone with a degree is good enough? I don't know how they would fix this issue

I don't know how they would fix this issue. But I understand why they have the tests. It's too easy to claim you're a programmer

Also electrician, plumber, chiropractor, real state investor, and so on and on. The problem is there is no problem, pretenders are caught and fired. False positives are caugth and fired. Know something? Do you realize you are trying to defend software companies? Why does companies need you as their defensor? Focus on the real problem, not in illusion of fairness.
