It's not possible to create a "perfect" interview process. I can literally give your criticism to every single interview process you can ever imagine and be correct in that criticism.

It's akin to saying that because some people have anxiety issues, we should completely do away with interviews and just let people randomly walk in and do work.

Because that's the only way to potentially avoid the criticism you gave here, only that's also not true because locale comes into play. "You didn't create a building every 500 feet that people can walk into, so now you're disenfranchising people without cars!".

My point here is that this is not a useful criticism. Come up with a useful grievance, one that's actually actionable, and then maybe we can talk.

Well to start with, I would put more onus on the interviewer to extract information rather than on the candidate who is already likely to be stressed.

Not every personality difference can be reduced to anxiety. That is precisely the kind of closed world-view I was talking about that can form within homogeneous groups.
