Not sure either. Best guesses are a combination of elitism, ignorance, preconceptions, groupthink, and insincere memeing.
NGL if I saw a job listing that said, "Don't have experience in a specific field," I wouldn't apply even if I didn't have experience in the field specified because my assumptions for why they'd say that basically are the reasons you said.
Or that they would want someone they could under pay for the position, but that's more specific for what the job is and what they don't want you to know beforehand.
Edit: Fixed wrong wording
