In my experience that's true mostly of large companies that have very standardized interview process. All the startups I worked at so far had some kind of coding question but it was not very leetcode-y and more conversational; Trying to get your thoughts about how you'd solve the problem and assess whether you had the right intuitions about software challenges. I'd encourage you to exercise your network and see if you can find a small to mid-size company that does something interesting to you. You'll likely have a much higher success rate!
