I’ve passed on interviews in the past that require me to pick up an algorithms text book. The vast majority of people will never need to write code utilizing any of that. FAANG companies in particular are ridiculous for needing months of study to pass their interviews.

Not to mention, even if we put aside relevance, the “sit down and solve this algorithm problem right now while I watch you” interview can be WAY harder for neurodivergent types, and imo (depending on how things are done), can effectively amount to discrimination.
