I can boil this incompetence you describe down even further: employers and their employees don’t want to spend time making their own interview challenges.

It’s actually pretty hard and time consuming to come up with a mock scenario and evaluate it, especially when you also have your regular work to do.

Leetcode is seen as good enough and all the effort is on the interviewee. The current employees don’t see the pain and suckage. They already have a job and it’s not their problem.

That's a hard problem for some startup, not for FAANGs. They could do hundreds of those and keep switching them quite easily.

Some FAANGS do this. Amazon has/had their own code evaluation system along with a live proctored exercise.

I think most companies are looking for the path of least resistance.

May be that’s where the problem is. Interviewing skills should be part of the responsibility. There could be a committee that can set and evaluate the process and questions. However, this will hurt the ego of a typical engineer so much. No one likes to be told what questions they can ask. Everyone likes to believe they are good interviewers, it’s just that they “hate interviewing”.
