I've done some consulting work on the side since 2016 but never would I have thought to completely invent a skillset just to get the job. If it was like a small thing they'd require and if I was confident I could level up within 2-3 days, I would've considered it. But trying to land a job at a company that uses tooling you're completely unfamiliar with while also claiming to have a couple of years of experience with that tooling?

It's okay to learn on the job, you can't know everything and I know most companies don't really know what they need but this feels too fraudulent and yet it seems to be a common practice I must have missed in almost a decade.
