What if they reject 100% of applications? Seems perversely incentivised.

Apparently there are some "penalties" for wrongful rejections. So for these soulless fucks this will likely become an optimization problem of achieving maximum rejections while minimizing probability of getting caught. They will likely even do statistics like "which kind of health problems/demographics can be more often rejected without it being seem like a wrongful rejection".
