Some people will take 30 seconds on a question a tiny bit harder than print a string in reverse... and some people take 30 minutes . Those people have similar looking resumes. It's a useful signal.
So if you are offended by that, then it's really your problem. Just answer it in the 30 seconds it takes and the interviewer will immediately go on to other (harder) things.
Your complaints kind of conflict, because it doesn't matter if you don't have a compiler -- you should able to write code to reverse a string on the board. People realize that it's not an ideal coding situation.
