As if regurgitating someone else's leetcode answers is any better? Or googling or stackoverflowing answers? Or a take home challenge?

Even at the ML level, engineering is more about applying known good techniques and less about new innovative ideas.

Companies think regurgitating leetcode is better... the number of problems that can be asked is quite large. Memorizing that search space in itself takes tenacity and a good memory...of which are signs of a good employee (regardless of their current coding skill set)
