I disagree strongly with you. There’s a whole litany of engineers getting absolutely cooked in the product interview because they are not prepared for it

Hmm, the prompts are generally the same but that doesn't mean you prepare the same way. I might have not explained myself clearly here, that the prompt is largely irrelevant. I worked with someone that was overprepared for prompts and got one they prepared for and didn't pass because they were trying too hard to get the right answer. It's about the process and not answering the prompt. The prompt is just a vehicle for discussion.
