Unfortunately it will likely get worse in the short term. With a huge pool of laid off people fighting for a small number of open positions (especially at the senior level and above) companies can be as demanding and stupid as they want with hiring. Leet code prowess is just another screening that whittles down the work they have to do to hire--only people that study and learn those interviews will pass them so the company has to worry less about actually figuring out if someone is a good fit for the position.
