If you can see that clearly smart, experienced developers aren't very good at leetcode problems, what makes you think an aptitude for leetcode problems is a good measure of a developer?

The question isn't how much you should hold it against older developers, but how much you hold it against leetcode as a way of assessing developers.

Seems like basic logic to me.

I don’t, but it’s not the reality. Reality is that 80% or more of companies (in my experience) rely on those types of questions for interviews.
