I think this is the only weapon the interviewed person has. Not applying is not a solution as it will lead to even more disconnection. Apply, talk with people, disconnect when the bullshit level is too high.

Yes, I don't understand that kind of thing either. Getting up to speed on something like React takes, what, a week or two? Frameworks are the easy bit of development.

I think a lot of it is HR departments and maybe even management themselves gold-plating the requirements in an effort to feel like they are contributing to the process, and possibly even justifying their own positions by "adding value".
