I think that is more about the disconnect between coding tests and the actual day to day work and skills required to do the job. Example: I could have a high level of competency in software engineering and also not care how a mouse gets out of a bucket.

Those "mouse getting out of a blender" brain-teasers or whatever are pretty unheard of at this point I think. Most people complain about coding questions, generally leetcode-style questions I think.
