I could see the point of that approach for a creativity-driven position such as designers, advertisement, marketing, or even front-end development.

For hard technical roles, where substante over style is a mandatory and very basic competence, seems to be a sure way for you to filter out all the candidates you'd be looking for.

If you do backend and don't have any personal opinions about tooling, be it troff, man, pandoc, markdown, plaintext, or whatever, then there's plenty of enterprise opportunity for you, but I personally don't want to work with you. So I think that it's actually a great filter. Maybe it's slightly biased towards candidates with high confidence in their own choices and opinions, but that's a tradeoff I'm willing to make.
