I think a lot of it comes down to the resources everyone uses to prepare for such interviews. Most YT videos are hand-wavy and give a decent intro but fail to talk about nuances. I've recently started reading ByteByteGo's articles, they are very good, but still not many of the constraints that you mention I should talk about are actually mentioned in there.

If I wasn't aware of the depth I may need to go into (I guess this also varies by level of role you are interviewing for), how would I prepare for it? Is there a really good one-stop for reading about all possible things to discuss? Genuine question.

This is one of the best set of tips I’ve seen for system design interviews. I’ve probably read hundreds of comments online (like on Hacker News) with system design interview tips and this covers all the points really well!
