now a lot of job applications require that you give them a LinkedIn URL.
What types of jobs? I find that very hard to believe.

Software jobs for sure, but I've been applying for jobs with employers that have other types of jobs too (nursing, accounting, industrial engineering, etc.) and the requirement is not solely for their software jobs. Some have fields that pattern match (for these I put something like "https://linkedin.com/I_DO_NOT_USE_LINKEDIN") while others use an integration that actually require you to sign in to Linkedin (some of these I've created accounts for and then deleted them, some I've managed to bypass by hacking on the POST a bit, and others I've decided not to apply for).
Do any of the workarounds ever result in interviews?
I got an email from Indeed for this today: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/doordashusa/jobs/7727512
About 2/3 of the way down you can see LinkedIn Profile, and it's a mandatory field.
There are tons though.
