The same could be said about a lot of things, like being able to write a functional solution to a leet code puzzle on a black board in front of an audience.

IMHO, an effective interview process should attempt to mimic the position for which a person is applying. Making a candidate jump through hoops is a bit disrespectful.

IMO the interview process should help the employer correctly identify qualified candidates. Respect for the candidates is important but some candidates should absolutely be prepared to jump through hoops.

Jumping through hoops isn't the only way to demonstrate professional skill. I am the lion tamer, not the lion.
