Yeah you are correct but there are some popular technologies which every Job Description mentions and wants Devs to be proficient with it. For example, nowadays most companies want front end devs who have considerable experience with ReactJS.
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.
Get coffee with someone who can hire you. Ideally, you can build a relationship with someone who can hire you without asking anyone else; CTOs, CEOs, COOs, and Co-founders are the people you want to get to know when you're looking for a job.

Oh I get that.
I'm looking for a job myself and job description are much more annoying than realistic.
I would recommend skipping them, see what @jacobherrington wrote
