I believe hiring decisions are employers perogative.

What I do appreciate is them being honest and upfront about it so that I don't waste time pursuing a job that might not fit me.

That works until their cumulative prerogatives shut you out of your chosen career because they're discriminating against you. Discrimination is simply avoiding the thing you don't prefer because you have a preference for something else. If you discriminate against enough people, it becomes a problem for people who don't fit into your prerogative.

The entire hiring process is an act of discrimination. What's the alternative? Hire everybody that applies?

Given that the market is so unbalanced in favor of programmers, and will keep being that way for the next 10 years, that's hardly an issue.
