This isn't the author's reaction to the interview process, it's their reaction to the way the company tried to pressure them into accepting the offer.

> Then the pressure started, incessant calls from the hiring manager and the VP of Engineering, back-to-back emails, all within the allotted time.

I agree with the author that it's a red flag - it communicates that they don't respect boundaries or behave professionally.

You’re right, the author isn’t just complaining about the exploding offer, but the high-pressure boiler room sales tactics. It just reeks of desperation, good for him for knowing his worth and walking away.
