It's because coding interview questions aren't so much assessing job skills as much as they are thinly veiled IQ tests.

I think if it was socially acceptable they'd just do the latter.

Plenty of companies administer IQ tests. The reason everyone doesn't is that it doesn't work well.

A lot of companies have IQ like tests, in particular big consulting companies like McKinsey and so on.
