What sucks is that bias and racism is also baked into many “objective” criteria.

Take test scores - just having the right parents will push your sores up on average.

Having better performance regular ties into wealth and upbringing. No surprise then that the dominant economic group will hold an advantage is such tests.

The damned intertwined nature of all these issues is what makes it hard to set up an actual objective measure. Which then brings us back to subjective decision making.
