I have never met a single human being in person who did not believe that a crucial part of acquiring practical skills in software (not "trades") for young people is to go to university. Maybe people shouldn't theoretically expect this, but there is theory, and then there is reality. We need to make them match, in whichever direction.
Yes I'm sure people say that but that's because they don't think before they speak
You wouldn't expect the same from a doctor, lawyer, engineer, the problem is that everyday people aren't aware that there is a difference between software development and computer science...
