Recruiter sent me a message berating me for applying

Went back and forth on whether to post this or not, but man, this just felt like such a rude and cruel message to receive at 8:30 am on a Saturday.

I applied to this position that was listed as a business development position but the qualifications section had truncated/missing text in the bullet points. Every actual listed qualification was seeking someone with experience or market awareness in manufacturing/fabrication, mechanical interfaces, ability to read engineering blueprints, and proficiency with CRM and Excel. I have a MS in a stem field and have worked in a variety of roles including IT, data analysis, optical engineering, manufacturing, semiconductor fab, metrology, and as a physics researcher at NASA. I figured it just doesn’t hurt to apply.

Given how bad the market is, I am trying to branch out and see what other job titles and opportunities are out there. I just need to put food on the table after being laid off, you know?

Anyway, this recruiter took this very personally. I did respond with a screenshot of the qualifications section that was missing chunks of text and politely explained why I applied. I’m not sure I should have done that to be honest but I was taken aback as hell.
