Exactly this, I have seen the issue too in mid or senior levels, not just fresh, because even if you're senior, most likely your expertise is on a very specific topic, not necessarily the job specific one, could be something very close to it. It's like learning on the job either through training or self-taught is an alien topic to them. I remember one time I had an interview for a job that needed some knowledge on navigating a Linux environment, and I have personally been using Linux at work or personally since ~2004 or so, only to find out during the interview the expectations were Linus Torvalds rock star level in developing kernels, for a pay of ~90k, and the job itself isn't even about Linux, it was some automation/robotics so the OS is just your environment, haha!
