Asking people to stop accepting interviews because they're bad (which I agree they are) is a bit like asking people to stop using combustion-based car because it is bad for the environment. On an individual level, sure -- a few people might flat out decline such interviews as a matter of principle. But as a whole this kind of appeal hardly has any impact. I rue the day that leetcode-style interviews became the norm, but I don't think they're going away any time soon. The incentives are just too strong. Leetcode style quizzes are a (yes, flawed, biased etc) somewhat reasonable proxy to coding skills, they cost very little to implement, scale easily etc. Personally I prefer take-home half-day projects, but its easy to see how absurdly impractical those are for larger companies.
