If you reject a third of applicants, the 90% figure is obviously misleading even if technically true in some sense.

It didn’t say 30% were rejected - it said on some offers as much as 30% were rejected. Again, the models can be totally accurate in aggregate but due to random variation or low sampling show as inaccurate on one specific offer, that is just how statistics work.
