Leetcode-style tech interviews fall far short of standardized tests. In real standardized tests, the same questions are given to everyone, and effort is made to develop new questions not known to the test takers.

They're more like a standardized test than a pure shoot-the-shit interview is, but still pretty far away.

OK, I grant the point but it doesn't fundamentally change my argument.
