I feel leetcode and all these websites actually made the interviews harder. As an interviewer, if you pick a question that's too easy or common on leetcode, your risk people who just know it from having done it before.
So I feel interviewers have made their questions harder and harder. Also, leetcode has allowed them to easily find hard questions to ask.
So on one hand those websites try to prepare you to pass an interview, but they've also made it so more people are now prepared and thus the interview no longer asses the candidate talent, but only how much they prepared, thus more imaginative and possibly difficult problem now need to be asked.
