Yeah my last few job searches went a bit like that too. Sending CVs to try interesting new things gets not replies, meanwhile I get dozens of recruiters offering me well paid jobs as long as I stay in the same general areas. It's really hard getting out of the boxes we're typecast in. I still like programming a lot when I do it on interesting things (which are side projects really), but I haven't had interesting programming at my job in years.
