I never said it was super lax, and I never said I'd show up in a hoodie and sneakers. Obviously I would dress nicely, a tucked in button-down shirt, nicer pants

  Generally speaking, jacket and tie is safe even if it's not normal in the work environment. As others have said, you're not working there when you're interviewing. Even if you know the environment in question and know that you don't really need to wear a tie, it shouldn't hurt unless someone has explicitly told you otherwise. A suit's usually overkill outside of certain situations--though I can't say it's out of bounds either especially if it's for a customer-facing role. Those doing the interviewing should understand that it's conventional to dress up for interviews as opposed to trying to perfectly fit in with the conventional dress code at their office.
