Isn't that a common criticism of every interview style? Whether it's whiteboard questions, take-home projects, soft skill questions, lots of people will lie and say they've never seen the question before.
Video editing has nothing to do with being an influencer lol. That is a very transferrable skill to a lot of industries.
If we're being very charitable I guess the idea of using a HashMap for an optimal solution might slip your mind but even a freshman in CS can just loop twice over an array and solve it.

I want to grind Leetcode and tackle FAANG interviews. Working at companies like Microsoft and Google looks very fun and the pay obviously goes without saying.
I would agree with your criticisms of most of those companies as not being suitable for large companies, but I would argue Salesforce is definitely an option for large companies. I see job postings for Salesforce developers from companies like Google and Facebook all the time, and personally every company I've worked at as a Salesforce developer has been a Fortune 500 company.
