#3I probably would not have hired you based on your description of things, you probably wouldnt have hired you either.
Nevertheless, based on the process, it sounds like they will end up hiring pretty medicore candidates.

I doubt so. Open ended questions like "generating ideas" allows the interviewer to judge what your level of reasoning is. If you propose "add more GPU" or "let's tweak the transformer parameters with some quantization, like in this research article published a year ago" it makes a huge difference.
IOW the expectations are hidden from the interviewed person.

Open ended questions like generating ideas was the "Culture Fit" session (and if it wasnt or the company doesnt realise it is then it is an even bigger problem)

Well, I definitely failed the brainstorming stage. Disappointed with the result, but have no hard feelings. Wish they let me do the take-home assignment, but it is what it is.
Rolled the dice. It was not my day. Will roll it again with as many companies as it takes to get a good gig.
