It's not about transitioning between skillsets now, it's about future proofing.
I went from doing corporate enterprise applications on Windows NT to embedded systems when the PocketPC came out. Mobile computers didn't exist when I interviewed but because I was a generalist they had confidence that I could pick up the manuals and figure it out.
Note - I didn't work for FAANG because F and N didn't exist and A was a bookstore and G was a search engine :)
