Also a great filter from the other side.
I was not hired once because I didn't have React experience, despite having years of both Vue and Angular and having led teams building non-trivial apps in both. IME focusing on such a minor detail like that means either a) you're going to be so pressured to get stuff out of the door they can't handle slightly lower productivity for a month while you learn the different syntax, and/or b) the person hiring you isn't technical enough to know this is a minor detail.
Either way, better off somewhere else :)
I actually quite like it when this happens from the candidate side of the table. I don't want to work anywhere that is so short term focused on "you need to have X years of experience with this exact language/framework or we won't even consider you." It saves us both a lot of time by realizing our values are clearly not aligned early on in the process.
