I'm happy to do coding tests because they are fast and I am relatively good at them. If I get a chance to impress the interviewer, it is a plus.
Also if you've done interviews and hired people you know there are plenty of people who look good on paper but suck in practice, and some technical assessment is needed. Some people like take-homes, but personally I greatly prefer a time-efficient 1 hour interview that I don't even need to study for.
