It will probably depend on your hiring pipeline. In an established pipeline an engineer interviewing someone who can't code FizzBuzz is kind of a disaster. The recruiter asks their questions for the purposes of filtering out these types of people.

However, if you're in an early stage startup just getting started hiring you'll probably see a lot of these people. It will also depend on what type of engineer you're hiring. Most people with a couple years of software engineering experience under their belt can probably code FizzBuzz. If you're interviewing recent graduates it's a different story.
