I noticed this, too, about recruiting agencies. Funny thing was when they were looking for 10 years of experience in C# before it was 6 years old.
I have heard a small legitimate argument for strong familiarity with specific tools: although you may know how to program very well, you may not be familiar with C# libraries, and that can mean implementing code already available in a canonical way.
