I’m in HR and think about this a lot; it’s (mostly) a marker of poorly run companies when they say experience in software X is required. Mostly these orgs are using one of several software solutions and by saying a candidate must have experience in a specific software means the company is brittle; can’t train, wants to hire non-thinkers and learners, and also likely isn’t looking ahead at what will change in the future.
Software change will only accelerate likely, so hire learners.
You also want people who can follow rules and meet expectations. We don’t need any one getting to adventurous in there job. Problem solving is great but sometimes it is best to stay on the beaten path.

I refer to this as companies wanting to hire the person who just quit.

Ah, I see you’re familiar with my company
