That's how it works in all the companies I've hired in.

It doesn't matter if you don't get to the end of the problem, I just need to see you can think and that you know how to code. Do you think your daily job will require you more than that?

And believes me, this is enough to filter out plenty of bad apples.

Poor performance in my experience was never about not being able to solve a technical problem, it was always personal issues / not having motivation / hating the environment.
