I think there is another angle of this that a "good hire" that is missed because of ridiculous interview practices could potentially be an exceptionally great hire over time. If anything, FAANG companies are probably an ideal environment for people to deepen skills.

I think, based on comments here and elsewhere, FAANG companies always have job postings up and are always interviewing simply to vacuum talent up from competition and to project the image of an ever expanding company that is hard to get into. I wouldn't like to be forced into interviewing candidates for essentially generic job postings where the majority of outcomes for candidates is negative. How depressing.
