I came to say something along these lines. Why would ea be any different to the rest of the tech sector? They want to hire someone with 10 years experience for the (sector adjusted) price of a recent graduate, and the interview process is unreliable as ever so when the perfect candidate walks in the door they probably fail to recognise them anyway.

Having been in a form of ea myself for around 10 years I'd also add that it takes a long time to start being effective. Lots of skills besides tech to learn, which will be very specific to whichever form of altruism you're involved with. So although I haven't looked at those job postings, the simultaneous over and under supply could possibly be explained by skills mismatch.
