That is under 'Any of the following' section, so you don't have to have that. Besides, why do you think that is wrong?

Yeah, you can tell from the requirements that this is someone with a background from finance or management consulting, cargo culting/copy pasting job requirements from their previous careers.

Ridiculous, they care about a 10+ year old GPA?

Because it's a list/posting written by someone who spent their entire lives in finance or consulting, and that's what they know.

It's simply a transfer of culture from white-collar prestige, to tech.

It’s a rock bottom 2:1.

I find this odd. Generally a 2:1 equals a GPA between 2.8 and 3.2, depending on how strong it is.

The UK degree requirement is very soft in comparison to the others.

It can be used as a conscientiousness signal.
