Hiring is a noisy process and interviewers try to use questions which can divide the signal from the noise with high efficiency (read: no false positives). They willingly take the risk that they will generate a lot of false negatives this way. It is sad, but I when you have such a short amount of time to get to know someone’s abilities, you have to cut some corners.
Also I think you might be a little too hard on yourself. How many interviews did you do? I would expect that except maybe for the top x%, everyone has hit or miss interviews and it
might need a couple of rounds until you get the first positive result. I would assume it is like that for most people and quite normal in very competitive markets. I would say chill first and simultaneously keep preparing your stuff until you strike gold.
