It's a truth universally acknowledged that job applications often ask for more than they need. They want to appeal to smart, qualified candidates and do so by setting their expectations to the moon and hoping that someone who is realistically qualified still applies despite the requests for years and years of experience. I don't like that most entry-level jobs request 3-5 years of experience, but everyone knows that most people applying for an entry-level job won't have five years of experience and every single qualification down to a tee. They just want someone who can do the job well, and if they're conducting their job search correctly, they're going to find that person
That's all well and good when jobs are asking for qualifications that can actually be achieved. However, some recruiters don't check to see if what they are asking for is not only realistic but also humanly possible.
