Don't participate in such a process and the problem solves itself (unless you are very desperate). As long as companies find some idiot who jumps through these hoops, they will continue to do this. When they realize that they are deterring candidates with this shitty process, they might start changing it.

Have you seen dating sites? When the market is such that one side can clearly pick whoever they want, not everyone has the luxury (good looks for dating / relevant experience for jobs) to not play ball

That falls into the "very desparate" part. As long as there are companies that have better recruitement processes it will help if most people prefer those over others. If all of these companies reject an applicant then this applicant might become "desparate" and turn towards worse companies. So it's more the mass of people that influence the market and can therefore improve its conditions.
