This is true, but everyone's problem is specifically the "overcomplicated" part. I can see a better vetting process being needed for higher skill jobs, but really just testing if they're a living breathing person and able to repeat things is kinda pathetic. But if this is now how a hiring department/manager works these days, then it seems like asking for a resume is silly. It would obviously be most "convenient" to just be able to mass apply easily, so I can see the argument for this process. It seems that most of the complaints you typically hear about though (maybe this is just personal bias and anecdotal experience) are related to low skilled applications. Minimum wage/not far above minimum wage jobs this is crazy overkill. It just feels like a huge waste of time.

It becomes more and more worth it the better the job gets.

yeah the resume is the silly part, it's a remnant from the past. Somehow for flipping burgers they are by doing this checking wether you can neatly summarize you're academic history and your skillset, it's completely pointless. And for high skilled or specific jobs, you're better off asking some in the workfield questions anyhow, instead of the "why don't you decide what you want to tell us"-resume.
