Well funny enough in my country Serbia almost every job description for devops or for an software engineer is like that. I am annoyed with that as I also get into situations where I don't know what of those technologies is really needed I have them all but not really mastered all of those technologies.
So many times I do not apply to such job descriptions even if the company that posting them is company I am interested to work in.
Its annoying so much as it allows really uneducated HR people to choose people that are more assertive in presenting their knowledge including the ones who fake knowledge of the technologies.
Instead of searching for people who are really good in things that job position demand and who can learn other things related to project they search for someone who have knowledge of all technologies used on project or used in the department.
Fortunately there are the other more realistic job offers that I am applying to.
One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
you don't have to apply to those offers. create a personal connection with the other devs doing a similar job and you will find out the it's easier then you thought. it's just a fact that a lot of companies need the king of skills that you have

Usually, these job descriptions are designed for reach: the bigger the net, the bigger the catch 😂
