The problem is the flip side: companies that demand 10+ years of experience in technologies that have been around for 5, and similar absurdities. More simply and commonly, the amount of experience required for supposedly "junior" positions has gone up without commensurate increases in pay. And far, far, far too many companies demand that a candidate be able to hit the ground running instantly—that they have exactly the experience and skills required for this position, rather than being someone who may not know every possible way to configure Kubernetes, but who's flexible and both willing and able to learn quickly. I would never do it personally (both out of a sense of honesty, and a deep-seated fear that I'd be found out), but I can certainly see why lots of people lie on their resumes.
