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?”
