(I'm a Googler and opinions are my own) Interviewing is hard and I don't think any company has it perfect. The nice thing about going into a Google interview is that you can know what to expect. They provide lots of study material and there are multiple books or sites out there that give sample problems that mirror common problems interviewers may ask at Google. There are certainly negatives to whiteboard coding/algorithm interviews, but all other common methods I've seen also have their own problems. I do feel like the hiring team at Google has evaluated other methods (and continues to look into ways to improve the process), but they have stuck with the white board process. I'd say the hiring team does A/B testing like much of Google, but things have stayed somewhat similar over the years.
