Because they have no real understanding about what is involved in
production IT.  There is nothing worse than a professor saying to
a classroom full of students: "and this is what you will find when
you get out in the workplace " when they have never been out in
the workplace and are totally wrong.

Why do you think they stopped teaching COBOL (and other "legacy"
languages, but mostly COBOL) claiming it was a dead language with
no one still using it when there were millions of lines of COBOL
in use every day by major industries and by two of the largest
ISes in the world.  Here we are 30 years later and there is still
new COBOL being written every day.
