I hear this a lot but I keep seeing more and more Ruby devs moving to it trivially and as someone who reads-not-writes Ruby code I find it just as trivial to grok it.

So I think the differences are there but they’re being overstated from a transfer of skills standpoint.

Differences don't necessarily make it hard to move to another language. Many developers moved from Java to Ruby between 2006 and 2010, including me, and Ruby is pretty different.
