Yes: some companies have employees who don't quit as soon as a new JavaScript framework is launched. Do what they do. Yes, large companies operate by different terms than startups, but I assume (big guess here) there are startups who aren't just angling for acquisition or unicorn-or-bust layoff pits. Note that they may not say they're going in those directions, but they will definitely manage you in those terms.
[In fact, I'd be curious how many <20ppl companies with 80hr/wk soldiers aren't hustling for acquistion or aren't running out of money]
For GP, it seems obvious that they're interviewing the wrong people. It could be their phone screening, it could be their ad, it could be their industry sector. For instance, don't advertise for a Front-end Developer, advertise for a [thing you're actually hiring for] Developer, and screen resumes on this basis regardless of what you put in the ad (which hopefully is accurate as to job responsibilities and necessary skills).
