It's all anecdotal evidence. I've worked with some brilliant people at most places I've been and I can't think of 1 person who even had LeetCode account. Producing great production code is more about experience and knowledge of the domain than knowing how to bang out algorithms.

No one said that Leetcode is mandatory for being a good programmer. The point is that Leetcode, however imperfect, is still a usable signal for programming ability. Those excellent programmers you know would likely not have much difficulty with Leetcode style problems if they were to try them. That's the point.
