I thought "generalists" are evergreen. These big tech companies are mostly (or always) looking for generalists because they understand the basics so well that they can do anything.

This is typical but not mutually exclusive of the fact these companies also find themselves from time to time, wanting someone who has deeper or more specific knowledge in order to resolve issues identified by the generalists.
