The industry standard onsite interview to offer rate seems astonishingly low at 20%. Is this symptomatic of poor filtering early in the pipeline?

No, it's symptomatic of paranoid hiring processes, arbitrarily high bars, and interviewers who have no business interviewing people.

It just means that popular companies can very much cherry-pick and inconvenience plenty of engineers. There is no shortage of people for them.
