They are absolutely right about discrimination based on names, addresses and transit. However, this link makes some nitpicking accusations — if a job requires hours of standing, or lifting 40 pounds, putting those in the application isn’t excluding people. It is needed information upfront. The greatest injustices are corporate predatory tactics killing neighborhood, humane, flexible employers, and a horrendous gap in job skills, whereby what got you yesterday’s good union scale jobs gets you homelessness today. This link makes the problem primarily what’s in applications, when it is much deeper.
I agree about the physical limitations. In Canada employers are tasked with not making pre-existing conditions any worse so we need to know to adjust PPE and even just straight up change the task so it's not ergonomically gruelling. Larger corporations can make that decision (eventually) but it's hard for smaller businesses to accomodate.
