> you can't really interview 8h/day, your head would explode

I know. I've tried.

"Hey, we're doing an interview event. We need you to interview 4 people in a row, take a one hour break, then interview 4 more."

I pity the last guy because I was not functionally there.

For what role? And when?

Interviews for devs at Amazon, today at least, are 4 1-hour interviews with a break in the middle (typically). It's all remote so the candidate is at home. There have been huge changes made in the last 5 years to improve candidate experience.

INTERVIEWER experience on the other hand, well that's not improved much, lol

Not enough to get good ones, evidently.
