While I agree with the sentiment, this isn't entirely true:
> A false negative has zero cost (and zero benefit).
False negatives means that your hiring process is longer, more difficult, more costly, and you therefore find it harder to grow, or to replace people who leave.
It may well be that avoiding false positives in general is better for the business, but it's not as clear cut as you make out I believe, it's a balance.
