It's a credential, and like all credentials, if you can precisely measure the thing the credential is certifying, the credential loses its value. Having worked at these companies or at least worked with people who have, many of us feel the credential is not useful. We can personally evaluate each other's skills. But from outside of Silicon Valley, the credential appears, and probably actually is, useful.
Top-tier company != top-tier employees.
It is not a math book rather more of a puzzle book. On a side note - it's full of mistakes (your experience may vary though)

True, but it typically means top-tier interviewer...which would make it more difficult to discover areas where they are lacking.
Otherwise your "top tier" employees become liabilities, and it becomes unsustainable to rely purely on everyone being a top player. Basically you want a company that can still operate effectively even if everyone was a dumbass.
