I saw a job application a while ago that asked me to record a video explaining why they should hire me

That's very common now. I've done a few, still no summer job :(

I remember going to a group interview over a decade ago for a (now shut down) bowling alley and part of the interview was having to explain to other people why you should be hired so they could convince the interviewer to hire you.
