Having been in the field for almost 15 years, it seems to me that hiring has always kind of been hit and miss and all these timed tech interviews don't really help much as they focus too much on just code or system design. But the majority of problems I have encountered have not been technically difficult. Once you create an application with a sound system design, all the other technical stuff isn't really a challenge.
Majority of the issues are caused by requirements not being communicated, captured, or implemented properly. That's something that's not really focused on tech interviews. I just want a diligent developer who can identify potential issues, do their research, and propose solutions rather than be able to design a system in 90 minutes, because that's never happening in real life. In fact, I'd not hire someone who can claim to do so.
