The companies that think deeply about interviews are aware that their interview is biased, and they do so intentionally. At a certain point watching 5 good engineers not meet the bar is better than having 10 bad engineers get through.
Maybe the 'right answer' is to let your needs drive the bias of your interview. Do you have a position that needs to deal with immense pressure with management breathing down their neck? Bias your selection with whiteboard interviews. Are you looking for a principal engineer that can drive adaptation and change in a large org? Bias your selection process to get that.
tl;dr Maybe the issue is the one size fits all thinking to the tech interview.
