Since when did McDonalds start conducting LeetCode interviews for hiring cashiers?

It's a metaphor. McDonald's business is fries, as software houses jobs is software. Math is entirely incidental to those, effectively don't matter.

If you wanna get (and keep) a developer job, learn development. Leetcode is just an example, learn algorithms and data structures and patterns and languages. Math is literally the least useful thing to learn in 99.98% of real programming jobs.
