I have personal experience with a similar situation. I was told that others without a degree needed the position more. I suppose they thought I would surely get a better job elsewhere and they would be working to train and hire somebody new soon.
If you’re going for a job that doesn’t require one, I would recommend not disclosing you have one for the exact reason you cited. That isn’t a new idea though, I remember being told it decades ago.
