So during the Chinese imperial era they had a tiered entrance exam system in order to work as a bureaucrat. It was based mostly on your knowledge of Confucian philosophy and stuff like poetry, and required rote grinding to advance through tiers and maybe make it to the imperial palace one day, take the test administered by the emperor himself and become one of his courtiers. It was not really a cultural thing, it was just a natural consequence of the complicated bureucratic machinery. High demand for intellectual roles, prompting a selective process, standardized for fairness, which favored candidates that methodically studied curricula over comprehensive intellect (gained by devoting time to extracurriculars). End result was all these one dimensional bureucrats that were excellent at citing philosophical rote that did not actually come into play for the actual work often. But they could not dissent or think outside the box to save their lives and well, it's up for debate whether if that was a benefit or a curse
What other way can they evaluate candidates, if not this then something else equally difficult I also highly suspect you would fail that also

It's a handy way if you want to recruit a huge workforce with no real ability to think for themselves or do critical reasoning so you have cogs for your software machine
You have too much spare time and think too much. Get back to work. And then get back to leetcoding.
