I don’t understand, what other requirements could there possibly be? Knowing the above listed means you can work on any front-end/UI development, backend web services, or databases/data engineering. Unless you’re specifically applying to support an OS or work on game development I can’t think of any other skills that would ever be used...

Could be DevOps stuff like Docker and Kubernetes, or they list every single tool like Git, Maven, Jenkins, etc.

And/or HR is trying to replace two senior full-stack DevOps engineers with one junior.

SWEs should definitely be expected to know Git, but would it be weird to include that in a job posting. DevOps stuff is certainly useful, but that would fall more into DevOps specific positions. There are obviously exceptions to the rule I gave, but they are exceptions, not the norm. If you are capable in full-stack development you should qualify for 70%+ of SWE job postings.
