Yeah, lots of people who are not amazing applying and having to be filtered is a key challenge for anyone trying to hire at scale. In fact the key issue that this question is intended to address, so I agree with you.

I would never want to suggest that 'most programmers are bad' or anything like that, i think the real issue is that people who are not really great programmers apply for jobs that are beyond their level of skill at the time of their application.
