No point asking the super good contractors because its obvious they are in demand would want far want too much.

      Is it really true that contractors are only offered permie roles if they aren't any good?

      I've known as few very good contractors offered permanent roles (and declined them) as the company has effectively had a probation period from the individual and is happy with their work.

              Got offered a permanent role after an initial project fairly recently, didn't take it but I thought it was because they liked the work so much, good to know that feeling it wasn't just that may have been on the money didn't realize it was so common that perm jobs were good for helping the company save money... always good to know.

                It's not usually about saving money either. It's usually driven by the hiring manager envy. This is too why I became a contractor!
