I'm gonna put on my tin foil hat and say: maybe companies interview like this in order to filter out the people who are too old for this kinda crap.

This style is really filtering those who "don't have time," not by age.

As you get away from CS101, you kind of stop getting excited by it. I honestly don't care to look up how to implement quicksort at this point and would rather hack on some deep learning code in my spare time. Friends my age frustrated by interviewing are in the same position. Guess we're too old for a software job :-p

One thing I've found to help me with this ennui is to get excited about implementing the quicksort in another language, or using some newfangled pattern I'm not used to. I interview for fun and this helps to keep me engaged with the same old stuff.
