I guess you are missing the whole startup world, talents less than 5 years into the industry and hackers who grind many side projects and Generalists Maybe what you say is relevant to SMBs and enterprise hiring. Most ATS are designed for SMBs and enterprise hiring.

I guess then Startups looking for Generalists has to mostly fallback to Google forms and HR emails for hiring.

The startup world has been my exclusive focus for almost twenty years now so I stand by my position. Granted if you have fewer than five years of experience then it's harder to demonstrate value on a CV and that's certainly where a portfolio of work helps however your question was framed much more broadly.
I respect your point of views!
