This is my stance as well. I have a decade of experience and I have been a workaholic, so at this point I wouldn't want to work somewhere with that bs anyway. I also have experienced one great HR team.
That being said, I know how the game is played. A decade ago, I listed a dozen things on my resume I would have had trouble to demonstrate, but nowadays I can just build a nice story that is 100% truthful from cherry-picked facts. Sad truth is that if you're too candid you might come off as too disengaged nowadays. I've seen it happen in interviews. Best to pretend that your life led to this moment, and that you're that kind of person to find exciting whatever kind of work it is. If you lack experience for entry-level roles, just fill the gaps with lies.
