and another attacker who is right next to the goalkeeper, blocking the goalie's path to the goal.

The attacker with the ball shoots the ball through the air into the empty goal, with not even a tiny chance the goalkeeper could ever make it. Is it offside?

It's always context dependent, your version is fairly extreme in that the GK wouldn't be in a position to jump and use his hands to maybe make a theoretical save, but a player in offside position would be interfering with the play. It would be up the ref team to make a subjective call.

Maignan was pointing towards Dumfries almost before the ball had hit the net, it was clear interference even if the GK didn't stand a chance.

I agree, my example and this situation don't compare. I was just wondering about where the line is. At what point does actual interference matter?

Honestly I think the biggest controversy about this was how long the VAR took. They spent multiple minutes to make this decision which seems a bit crazy.
