I didn't mention anything about the places that offer them. Everyone knows that many places offer them, private or public sector.

I am skeptical about the % or number of fresh grads who have been offered such packages, because many people are swayed by survival bias online i.e. thinking OH YAY every Tom Dick Harry should be getting 100k starting salary.

You have any statistics as proof that there are many of such offers from the public sector? Do enlighten us here then.
