How much does LeetCode judge a programmer’s worth?

Just flubbed a technical screen by not getting the nuances in two otherwise easy LeetCode questions. I always thought of LeetCode questions as crap filters, but do they measure something else as well?

They measure how well you can memorise something that you will probably never use in practice unless in some extremely specific field like database tree building.
