Read a job posting that asked for '10 years of React experience' and React hasn't even been out that long

Came across a listing on LinkedIn yesterday for a senior dev role. They wanted someone with 10 years of experience in React. React came out around 2013 so thats only like 11 years max. And they wanted it for a front end job paying $80k in Austin. Felt like they just copy pasted some generic requirements without even thinking. Has anyone else run into job posts with totally fake experience demands like that?

Saw one asking for "5 years of Vue.js experience" when Vue hadn't even been publicly released that long. Total copy-paste laziness from recruiters who don't know the difference between React and a library.

And here I am with my "2 years of React experience" that's really just me watching tutorials and renaming the demo app... it's basically the same thing, right? But seriously though, the worst part is when they ask for "expert level" skills and then ghost you because you don't know some random obscure npm package they found on a blog post from 2019...
