I think that's fair, and why most people aren't against an hour or 90 minute tech screen where someone has to write some code. But I've had to do a 3 hour take home assignment, then an hour long tech screen solving some medium level LC problem, THEN an all day onsite doing design+multiple coding rounds.
On top of that there's the randomness factor. I know people who interviewed at FAANGs and basically had to do some easy level graph traversals and some linked list manipulations. Others get asked hard bottom up DP coding questions and need to use Prim's algorithm for MSPs like, wtf lol those are not the same thing.
