I think python is the most efficient language to use in interviews tbh. Functional languages might be better depending on the problem but you don't want people thinking you're a witch or something.

there was a Google retrospective posted a long long time ago where someone cited data that people that use python do better. it's the reason I learned python.

The fact that one can just ahead and cram for these problems should pretty much... severely downgrade, at least, their usefulness as hiring filters.

some of these questions seem super easy, and then some of them have wording that seems impossibly hard to comprehend.

Somewhat related: a while ago I went through a bunch of the "Cracking the Coding Interview" problems and completed them in Rust, whilst recording most of the coding for YouTube (until I got bored).

Everyone always says this, but the fact remains that it is a filter in the sense that not everyone can learn it, or retain it. People always complain that the techniques requested in an interview are not required for the job. I see it in a different sense. The jobs they ultimately qualify for do not require such skills.
