Who said anything about writing code on a whiteboard? And coding tests on our (past tense) code base while sitting in with our team are absolutely testing soft skills. Are you going to ask questions when you get stuck? How are you interacting?
There's more to talent than writing code. It amazes me, this attitude that testing for social skills and fit is seen as insulting. Believe me, it's for the candidates benefit as much as the potential employer.

I agree very much with a coder is not supposed to only code; I guess we agree if you take away the specific 'I had to code on a whiteboard without even a computer present' of the OP.
