This must be an American thing. In Europe it's pretty rare to find tech companies that do whiteboard questions and/or leetcode. The usual standard is one meeting with HR and the head of engineering (and/or a senior engineer) that ask you: tell me about yourself, what do you think about OOP, distributed systems, how to scale servers, Solid principles and some common patterns. If any, they invite you to an on-site meeting with the team to see if the team likes you... and that's all.

I'm not talking about FAANG (because, honesty, 99.9% of us don't work/will never work for a FAANG. And this includes HN folks as well. So it's pretty useless to take FAANG as examples of anything).

How many interviews have you done like this? I am in Europe and my graduate interviews were similar to this but I assumed more experienced interviews would be more leetcode style..
