This is not a question about whether an interviewer needs to customize the questions for each interviewee. This is about a possible mismatch between the environments of the interview versus the workplace and the relevance of the questions to the actual job.

You make a case for developers needing to be able to handle "high stress" or "high pressure" conditions. Those are pretty broad terms, as they could mean anything from "very competitive and high standards" to "quick firefighting emergency work 24/7" to "your boss will micromanage the living hell out of you". So, in effect, you're saying, "Look, you complainer, working for YouTube is like being in a phone interview all day." All I can say is that if that is true, I am certainly not a match.
