Are the endless lists of "required" and "suggested" qualifications of candidates for even the most basic of positions an HR wishlist or real requirements for jobs?
Are there actually people who have 6+ years experience in specific fields, Six Sigma certifications, degrees, and whatever else who are actually applying for $40,000 per year?
Should you simply apply for anything that seems interesting and let them make the decision?

Yes

Depends
No, who would apply for a 40k job with 6 years of xp the fuck?

In general:
They're wishlists if they're desperate, requirements if they're not.

Ask yourself: "Does this company have the HR department doing all the hiring?"
If yes, throw your application at them anyway
If no, consider that it pisses off some employers when applicants aren't even close to meeting the requested qualifications which at worst can lead to blacklisting, which, in small towns, can be a very bad thing. I've only heard a few cases of stuff like this though, probably doesn't happen.

Job postings are mostly a joke.
They put the bar extremely high and see what they will get.
Fun fact: online job postings are mostly for social reputation (i.e. "we are so powerful, we're hiring everyone! Look at all this growth!").
75% of the jobs will be filled by from known associates who get connected in via friends and already have a position lined up.

In IT, they're used to "prove" that no Americans applied or were qualified so they can import a poo in loo.
Personally, I will walk out of the next interview where I so much as suspect a poo in loo is in the building.
Most HR broads can't even spell half the requirements they ask for.
The real manager asks for somebody, and spits out a half assed list of likes and the HR assistant tries to make a coherent post out of it.
Most people are barely functioning trash. Moreso in HR.

Good luck with that
I live in the deep south and you can't go anywhere without poojets everywhere
Half the hospital IT staff are shitting in the streets, but despite more being hired, the network is breaking more and the non shitters are getting more work load.
