There is statistical data saying the opposite: http://chrisparnin.me/pdf/stress_FSE_20.pdf

That whiteboard interviews are actually testing how you perform under stress rather than how good you are at your job.

Additionally, in my opinion, it measures how good the interviewer is. If you get a bad interviewer or even just one in a bad mood, just pack your bags because you aren't getting it.

Whiteboards are incredibly arbitrary in my opinion, if taken alone. If it is part of a complete assessment, ehhhh.
