I work for a FAANG, have done interview training and numerous interviews. We are explicitly trained that candidates should be asking questions, second guess themselves etc.

Hotshot FAANG and YC startups don't want humans, they want zipheads[0].

Yeah that is definitely something that is subject to the interviewers opinion and maybe company culture. To me, question asking is a great thing, though the candidate eventually needs to start solving.
