I sorta agree on the latency although there are a lot of unavoidable reasons that happens including but not limited to travel schedules of the decision makers and the need to interview multiple candidates.
However TBH an in-person day with 4 or so interviews (perhaps post a phone screen) is absolutely standard for all sorts of professional positions and has been for many decades. I can only think of one case where I just had an informal in-person lunch instead--and that was a case where I knew the company's owner very well.
