Consider stepping away from reading resumes, or developing a rubric to help you process them more dispassionately, or a workflow to edit them before passing them to a review team. It's natural to get tired of seeing the same thing, but it's unfair to candidates to use your overfamiliarity with the resume format against them.

Additionally consider there is no good way on a resume to distinguish between considering but declining to use a technology, and never evaluating technology in the first place. Additionally, consider that many people pick up expertise with overlapping tools due to circumstances they cannot control (legacy codebases, client insistence, freelance.)

I say this as a fellow resume reader who experienced some of what you describe. It feels like gaining wisdom but it's not quite.
