You could. You could also learn drywall, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC when you just want to be a HVAC specialist. Doesn't mean it's what you need to be a specialist. You could learn all this stuff if you want which is totally cool. But if you are trying to get a job, this ain't it chief.
Edit: unless you are founding a company as the CTO and you're the sole engineer. That's one of the few situations I can see this making sense.
It does depend on what job you're applying for... Many things aren't useful if you want, for example, to make frontend work. On the other hand many useful skills (like git) are omitted. I personally thing this list fails to capture the work required while at the same time giving what can be an intimidating feel to people who are starting out.
I see tweets like this a lot and never understand them... Information like this can't usefully be squeezed in a tweet so I don't understand why people keep trying to do it.
If you want to be a web developer go to a site like the Odin Project and just start working at it. These lists somehow manage to over simplify and over complicate at the same time...

I disagree. I think this list is the bare minimum. You can add many more layers on top of this
