I cannot relate to, after two miserable phone interviews with Google I told them on their third request, that if my CV looks so great (by their own words why they were reaching out to me) and yet I had to deal with such interview processes better not bother me ever again.

It’s a stochastic process. Some percentage of Google interviews are bad. As a job-seeker you are drawing a few samples from each company and you make a judgement.
The bigger the company the more variability in experiences.
So you make a decision with imperfect information. But it doesn’t really matter because even if you have perfect information through the interview that’s still an imperfect measure of how the job will be.
It’s all stochastic so the only way to get a good outcome is to iterate—guess, evaluate, try again until you find something you like.
