> problem solving at an architectural level
That's a problem for people who haven't done internships and have just graduated. Architecture skills and knowing how things are/should be designed come from experience, which a lot of people don't have.
On the other hand, algorithms + data structure knowledge and how they're applied do not really require experience, just knowing fundamentals well.
So your method is definitely good for experienced people but not for new grads/interns. And these are methods the industry employs anyway — big companies do stress more on system design for industry hires, less so for new grads + interns.
