I have a competing hypothesis. It seems to me that a lot of people writing the vacancies have too big of an ego to acknowledge the fact that someone without work experience can do the job they've been doing for years (and maybe still are). The seem to have forgotten that they also started without any experience.

Checks out in my case. I can probably train a horse to do my job and yet they require 2+ years of experience with a B.S. degree for it.
