Sometimes, aptitude and an ability to learn and grow is more valuable than having specific technology knowledge. It suggests a more generalist take on one's career, which means they are always going to be useful. There's also something to be said for "soft skills" and a person's overall attitude. All this can make the balance for a lack of technical experience, provided they have demonstrated talent an ability to close such gaps.

Other times, the whole hiring process is just completely broken. Your friend may have had to contend with co-workers that were utterly incapable at their jobs.
