Your strategy to "improve hiring" is a dick move. You are just wasting the time of those candidates for... what? Really disrespectful.
Also, your experience indicates that you are only applying to a specific kind of company - FAANG, or a company just about to IPO or a certain type of venture-backed startup. The job market is much bigger than these companies, and there is a lot more diversity to interviews than your post suggests.

I'd say it's less a dick move and more actively harmful. I really don't need any more to believe that FB was declining internally, filled with self-important engineers only propped up by a single revenue source and buying out the competition. In his attempt to prevent anyone else from hurting the company, he decided to hurt the company first?
Imagine working on any other system with 100s of engineers and one of them deciding he doesn't like how it's being run so, instead of raising his concerns, he decides to sabotage it. Absolutely insane.
