Ok, so they have a reason to be condescending in your mind.

Does that change the fact that they are condescending?

i think by your logic, they only thing that they do that is condescending is to say that an interview is not guaranteed.

people are mentioning that they do this for a reason, which explains away that behavior, so yeah, it kinda does change the fact of whether they are being condescending.
