This might suffice to see if the candidate is able to write decent code, but what about their ability to communicate their ideas with other developers, their approach to tech in general, or how they'd mesh with the team on a technical level?

Those aren't part of the technical interview, possibly except for the "approach to tech" item depending on context.

How can "ability to communicate their ideas with other developers" not be part of the technical interview?

How could a developer get a 'hire' or 'strong hire' rating without communicating their ideas clearly to the interviewer?
