You're the minority, from what I've read from others and experienced firsthand.

Typically the technical interviews at companies (in the US at least) consist of HackerRank (either something generic a la leetcode or something made in-house at the company) followed by a live coding test and trivia (SOLID principles, Gang of Four design patterns, OOP fundamentals, sometimes things specific to the languages the company is using). This is for senior level positions. I find most companies put all SWE candidates through the same interview process, same coding challenges/leetcode, regardless of experience level.
