What does "learned on the job" mean, though?

Were you reading Stackoverflow? Taking a digital course and watching lecture videos? Reading a textbook with a pencil and paper out? Attending in-person trainings?

All of these things are scrutinized very differently in the workplace.

Exactly. Lots of places will not blink an eye if you are reading a blog post on something you'll be able to apply within a week. Having a textbook with pen and paper out to learn something that may not bring fruit for several months is a different story.
