This is precisely the workflow when a traditional graphic designer mocks up a web/app design, which still happens all the time.
They sketch a design in something like Photoshop or Illustrator, because they're fluent in these tools and many have been using them for decades, and somebody else is tasked with figuring out how to slice and encode that design in the target interactive tech (HTML+CSS, SwiftUI, QT, etc).
Large companies, design agencies, and consultancies with tech-first design teams have a different workflow, because they intentionally staff graphic designers with a tighter specialization/preparedness, but that's a much smaller share of the web and software development space than you may think.
There's nothing contrived at all about this test and it's a really great demonstration of how tools like Claude don't take naturally to this important task yet.
