Shopify Life Story Interview - Reject

I passed the phone screen which was an easy question of having prices of items and discount strategies (e.g. apple buy one get one free, orange buy two get one free, etc.) implement a method to calculate the total price of the shopping card (implemented with strategy pattern).

Then, I was assigned the life story in which the recruiter asked me about my past, my educations, how I became interested to computer science etc. without any actual behavioral interview question. It was more like a friendly chat I say.

Couple of days after, I received an email saying they decided to move with other candidates. I'm wondering if you have similar experience. I really think that this interview method is biased and really depends on the recruiter's feeling about you. If she doesn't like you for any reason like gender, race, etc., she can easily block you from moving forward.
