I, for one, agree with this kind of hiring process.
From my own experience - people that do well in such interviews are good generalists. On their own they will start discussing performance improvements and ways to parallelize the solution, it's a pleasure to have such an interview.
It's about enjoying problem solving and willing to keep your brain fit. It has nothing to do with memorizing solutions to some existing set of problems.
