Is it though? I tend to let people go pretty quickly if they don’t work out. But I’ve found some real gems because I’ve taken a chance on someone in the past. How do you quantify the cost of missing out on good people that you just assumed didn’t fit the mold? How expensive is that?

That is a cost that isn't easily quantifiable. However, the cost of wrong hires is easily quantifiable based on the time effort required to (attempt) to get a new hire going.
Considering that most companies are looking to minimize risk and the potential benefit is not quantifiable I would estimate the chances to skip the interviewing process as minimal.
