They received approval of their application for hiring an H1 employee, so are only interested in a foreign worker. If they wanted an American worker they would not have applied for the DOL certification.

Basically, what I was getting at is what possible (or valid) reason could an employer have for having this requirement.

You have no choice.
Not sure of you're familiar with it, but there is a think called the serenity prayer. Look it up.
In essence, it says put your energy into things you can change, don't expend energy on things you have zero control over. Be wise enough to know the difference between the two.
Take it to heart. You can spend all the energy you want to on this, it would be energy wasted and it won't help you get a job.

Whether not it's your "style" a recruiter has told you that you aren't of interest to their client. You could waste time trying investigate this or you could laugh at the stupidity of the recruiter and/or the company who they represent.

Valid reasons? There are no valid reasons.
Visa workers are cheaper. That's it.
Americans "cost too much" and, as we're so often told, "don't have the right skills" - hahahaha - so instead they'll hire some visa worker - who also probably lacks the right skills and may barely be able to speak our language - for a far lower wage.
The conclusion to draw is that US corporations are cheap and are at the root of the employment problem in this nation.

Why don't you ask them? It can't hurt.
