that's an engineer's opinion about things beyond his understanding
75% of fresh grads are below mediocre, to put it very mildly. 50% of candidates with a seemingly OK employment record or portfolio are too.
leetcode filters them out right away. that's the purpose it serves. it's not there to get you good candidates, it's there to make sure that you only spend time interviewing potentially good candidates.
I would agree that it would be ideal to use coding challenges suited for the job you're hiring for, but that would take a lot more time and effort to make and review
