Just looking at AFAP and you compare the jobs, some of these people are absolutely dreaming if they expect someone to scroll past a full time jet job with lower minimums than the single engine part time job in the middle of nowhere.
You'll actually find that the main reasons for the higher minimums are non-negotiable contract requirements for the people chartering the aircraft. Many operators are more than willing to put someone on a new type with far less hours than required by contracts, but when they can't actually service the contracts, it's pointless.
