But this is so unfair and silly! Aren't we supposed to learn as much as possible in work and not draw lines? Isn't it better to hire someone who has knowledge outside their usual domain?!

Therefore please don't believe all the nonsense spouted by our mass media. Specialization is crucial in the eyes of industry.
But on the flipside, in my industry I am paid for my ability to execute and problem solve, but I am respected for my other knowing of related areas (can't smoke me), so... Not everything can be monetised but it makes my life easier.
With specialization comes money. But with competencies comes respect. If you are a managerial position, respect is pretty important.
