Yeah going thru the process of 5-7 interviews just to get lowballed or ghosted is pretty draining. I’m guessing it’s just a tough market and I’m getting edged out by other candidates or companies have so many applicants they can offer less than I asked for during screening.

In Germany: this was my experience late last fall as well. It's not that I got no offers, it's just that the ones I got (2) were at least 30% below what I had asked for. It's definitely employer's market right now.
