Same, I have avoided FAANG for a long time (I worked for Apple decades ago). At my age I don't have patience for nonsense. I freelance and work through an agency that vets clients for me, I never interview. Either I deliver or I don't charge for my time, simple. I stopped applying and using recruiters and going through the interview process a long time ago. I get jobs and gigs through contacts and reputation. That doesn't necessarily work for people starting their career, I understand, but if enough of us said no to these stupid interview processes maybe companies would stop using them.
