Here's my hot take -- interviewing sucks because it's hard to fire people.

At every place I've worked at, spanning a whole spectrum of places (Google, Discord, tiny, huge), its been a truth universally acknowledged that interviewing is a garbage metric full of false negatives. But we'd all rather put candidates through the gauntlet than the whole team through the firing gauntlet.

Make it easier to fire and interviews will be less insane.
