It's not the same thing, unless the company is holding interviews for a nonexistent job. Or if they're interviewing somebody that they know they won't hire anyways.

I don't think anybody would defend that practice, so what makes it OK if I'm doing it myself by leading on some company that I don't want to work at?

I don't believe the advice is "interview at 3 companies but don't take the job no matter what."

It's "interview at 3 companies to find out if the job opportunity is better than the job you currently have, and if so, jump ship."
