I suspect some people want to make time but have family or other obligations. Adding new project that must be executed on as a prerequisite to being seriously considered for a job when you are obviously capable can be a hard sell. Especially given programming challenges are not that fun for people used to delivering features. I know that for talented SWEs, having a leetcode interview sink an interview process it can be invalidating. Companies that rely on single algo/ds interviews also discourage potentially great employees when they totally ignore evidence of capability. The company wants candidates to grind ds/algos, but it won't compel its own employees to look at public contributions.
