In my aged experience, it's not age per se, but salary. I recently even had a recruiter yell at me for asking 'too much'. It became clear the client wanted high six five figures code monkeys.

Which brings up a second factor; they don't want someone criticizing their design, code or procedures with legitimate complaints.

Finally, some hiring managers believe you are going to try to take their job. It's psychological projection; they simply can't believe many, especially older, engineers have no desire to be in management (this situation is worse if the engineer ever was in management.)
