I think your experience is typical. It's bullshit, but its typical. You would expect them to be impressed that you're resouceful enough to run your own company and be doing your own thing, but I guess that CTO valued long-term half-assed workers over experienced.
A friend of mine was hired as an animator in one of the larger studios in Montreal (They get contracts with Marvel). His animation skills were ok (He knew Blender, Maya etc) but he says what got him the job was a background in Anatomy & Biomechanics that actually got him the job.
Unrelated Story: During Covid I was lining up projects and scored an interview for a company via Zoom. Within 30 seconds, no joke, the interviewer gave me shit for looking around and especially looking down at my desk, demanding that I look straight into the camera and not look elsewhere to read any answers to his questions. I decided he was probably new at this and let it slide until he said it again. I told him he sucked at his job, then fuck off, then asked him if his company was hiring new recruiters. He ended the call.
