No.

I’ve spent the last year or so reinventing the hiring process at my tech company to expressly avoid algorithmic puzzles and leetcode nonsense, and I was able to do this because I patently refused to accept the status quo.

You can do this too. Anyone can. I’m basically a moron and I managed to convince our talent team to radically change how we do things; if I can do it I feel like the bar is pretty damn low.

The only real requirement is that enough of us simply refuse to accept how things are today. Right now is a fantastic time for the tech industry to adopt change because your talent recruiters are probably struggling to find and retain new developers and are almost certainly willing to listen to suggestions on how to stand out.
