Age discrimination prevents one from requiring experience in a field?

No, it potentially prevents some advertisements from asking for it.

eg "Ten years post-gradudate experience in $foo" will discriminate
against most people under 31/32 years old.

But again, since when is requiring an applicant to be qualified
considered discrimination?

No-one has said that. The discrimination here is the implication that
only people aged 31/32 or older will be considered.

No, the implication is that only those who are qualified will be
considered.

If a 22 year old shows up who has experience they'll be considered. If
a 32 year old shows up without experience, they won't.
