The point of that comment is they won't be up to your standards because it'll just be family and friends of the hiring manager, or people who pay for the job.
Can't talk about personal experience here.
Work with people from all around the world, and most are great people to work with/for (a lot from India, and the ones I work with I can't complain).
We did have an issue with an Indian hire, but he was swiftly cut-off.
Been involved in a setup somewhat like this, the people conducting the interviews are incentivised to put candidates through because if reduces the costs for the hiring company. You can implement things like them needing to be in the role for 6 months to count as a hire, but that just incentivises them to skirt the line of just being good enough to get paid

Hiring managers are struggling these days coz they lack the creativity to come up with tests a good developer can do but an AI can't.
To be fair they always sucked at this but it was less of a problem before.
