One underrecognized effect of all this (speaking from personal experience) is the fatigue that all the red tape generates. The closer you get to residency, the worse the paperwork/bureaucracy load gets.

Eventually you get jaded enough and tired of it that you'd rather just go home than keep begging a place that clearly doesn't want you to let you in.

As someone that works in a team with minimal collaboration software overhead—is there a ton of bloat in their process (Basecamp this, Campfire that, etc.) or is that just the reality of modern software development?

big worm on sand planet make spice that give prophetic ability. yet this is not how worms work. what gives?

As a hiring manager, boilerplate cover letters written in what I can only describe as the human version of ChatGPT tone already make me want to claw my eyes out, so I'm sure this will only help.

Not disagreeing with your vague intuitions but just the point you made about shipping incomplete features and fixing them on the fly.
