They could have enough people of that age bracket already - if it were a job interview or something with only one position, then yeah.

My wife does a lot of surveys online (at least she used to) and often there would be a question that if she didn't fit the criteria (age or anything really - income, did you buy a car in the last year etc) it would be over.

I would keep putting my name in if i wanted to test google products, you never know, but I wouldn't take it personally, they just don't want to waste their time, or your time for that matter.
