I don't think this is true. I've a buddy whose bread and butter is web development at small companies (<20 devs, often < 10) and he's been running into these types of problems at just about every role he has applied for in the last year and he's absolutely terrible at coding interviews despite him being able to reliably turn out solid code during his day job week after week.
What's fashionable in SV tends to be adopted by other companies no matter how well it actually fits. See shops with one team of 6 developers trying to turn everything into microservices.
This was my experience during 2020 (companies were being really picky). I ended up temporarily working far below my day rate to pay the bills. It wasn't fun.
I got hired for 3 times the amount based on my previous work. No time wasting tests, just my work.
