What if you want to apply for a company you know that uses keyword detection before setting up an interview? I've been hired twice because my resume contained 2 specific technologies they were looking to add to their stack. Sometimes it's not even a bot, it's a hiring manager that looks at your resume during 5 seconds to see if you have experience with some X tool.

You can be selective about your work without being a snob.

Not in my experience as a software developer.
Instead I list the major public projects I have completed and describe contributions to group efforts.
In an introductory paragraph I explain the few language I prefer to work in and that I am not interested in spending time with frameworks or configuring tools. My reasoning for this is to intentionally make my resume less popular so that I capitalize on my skills and accomplishments opposed to jumping into the common mediocrity. As a senior developer with many years experience, a strong portfolio, and two employers I can afford the patience to look for work I would rather do instead of the paycheck I immediately need.
