Most HR departments have been filtering resumes (or LinkedIn) based on things like keywords for years before they got to you. So your reaction to resumes that heavily use those may be reactionary to being presented with tons of those (by whoever filtered them before you)

I once had an application rejected less than five minutes after submission. Hard to imagine that was anything but lacking a certain threshold keyword.
