There's value to your experience. Most engineers on the market have not really built anything. They know how to connect the pipes. Which is not an insult - pipe connection and building something from scratch are entirely different markets. One does serverless, the other builds servers underwater. One does microservices, the other does monorepos. One goes for full test coverage, the other hires lots of QA.
If you're in a very large company, you'll very rarely be building new products, they'd simply be acquiring them and redoing all the pipes. There's no need for a person who understands a product end to end.
Your experience isn't being considered because you might be applying for the wrong market. It's like a Wordpress dev applying for a React job. Similar field, similar products, entirely different skillsets.
