Wouldn't that only be true if the "unfairness" is masking discrimination of a protected class or retaliation or some other illegal behavior?

Not necessarily.

You can fire people for no reason, but firing them for a reason via a process still requires it to be somewhat "fair".

It is weird how that works. Granted like anything to challenge it in court you need to prove a lot, but it is still a thing.

And to be clear I don't know if the boss just getting the final say as in the above example would qualify.

Once a process looks like a tribunal, the rules of natural justice must be applied.
