> Interviews aren’t about solving problems.

Eh, I wish more people felt that way, I have failed so many interviews because I haven't solved the coding problem in time.

The feedback has always been something along the lines of "great at communicating your thoughts, discussing trade-offs, having a good back and forth" but "yeah, ultimately really wanted to see if you could pass all the unit tests."

Even in interview panels I've personally been a part of, one of the things we evaluate (heavily) is whether the candidate solved the problem.
