Yes, recruiters see you as a thing, a thing they have to try to sell. They have no clue how to determine your technical chops. So how do you think they determine whether you will be easy to sell or difficult to sell? Why do you think they have face to face meets?

That doesn't matter if the other side of the equation doesn't work out. If they can't convince the client to do an interview they will usually ghost you, regardless of your smell.
