I spoke to an Amazon recruiter today. I was told I need to do a 75m online test before the phone interview. Is there anyway to skip it to the phone interview? Thanks

You have to say NO to this. Suggest alternatives to them or just refuse the interview. Find another recruiter at the same company or another company
You can not change the system. You need to embrace it. Learn a programming language and practice leetcode / hackerrank / etc.
Companies don't want smart people they need code monkeys to get the job done. The current screen process is to filter candidates. Companies want people who spend more time coding adding new features than smart people asking why we adding those features.
Like the other day in Blind people doesn't know who are Steve Wozniak and Paul Allen but they are pro leetcode engineers. Sad but true.
Good news: You can improve your coding skills in a few short time. If you become a pro coder you will become a valuable asset. Because you have the knowledge, experience and know the algorithm and coding skills required.
Prepare to get many rejections and learn from your mistakes, but never give up.
