It is, but it's worth giving companies the benefit of the doubt here. A lot of companies are actively changing their policies. At my day job we're transitioning from full remote to hybrid, and the rules on hybrid are themselves in flux. It'd be real easy for a candidate to get mixed messages if they entered the hiring funnel now. Yes, the company should be up front about the circumstances, but I could see how it would happen. And yes, other companies are just malicious.
