Regarding that last one, my last job actually happened because I was made an offer during the first interview

Probably better stated as a red flag not necessarily "they're not real." Usually the folks at the company will want at least a little bit of time to think over the interview and discuss.

It's almost as if technical interviews are extremely important in vetting applicants

It depends, good references and prior work can top "technical interviews" in my book. If someone's done something interesting a conversation about that interesting thing is often far more useful.

Technical interviews are more important when you're looking at people fresh out of college or a code bootcamp.
