I agree with all the things you've said.
Gonna throw a similar but slightly inverted anecdote out there as well. My sister is a PhD psychologist who works with children. She had to significantly reduce the number of children she forwards for ADHD testing because 100% of the time the result was "positive" and they were medicated. And she was sending in really borderline cases "just to be sure". Thinking she was being safe and responsible for the child's well being. Now she has to act as a blocker and only forward children who she is really, truly confident need it.

They actually have a qEEG test that does a very good job highlighting differences between the ADD brain and a neurotypical brain. This is at least 10 year old research, so i have no idea where it is today.
