> Is it a developer issue or the industry is being fucked up by hiring managers or recruiters ignoring portable developers Knowledge and just caring for how many years you’ve used $nextCoolFramework?

I don't really know whose fault it is, but I can tell you from experience that if you present yourself as having good -even excellent- experience and knowledge of the principles, the practices, and the patterns, and having similar experience with $similarFrameworkA and $similarFrameworkB, but not with $thisParticularFramework, then "you're not quite what we're looking for". And the opposite is common too. If you do have a couple of years experience with $thisParticularFramework you're good to go. It doesn't matter whether you don't know how to do anything else outside of that.

This is something people don't often want to admit, or sometimes even discuss. I'd guess it may be related in some way to another rarely admitted fact about the industry: There is a lot of wasted effort and resources. Particularly in certain types of projects and companies, the overall productivity is extremely low.
