I guess this also means the university is indirectly cheating when they publish statistics about the grades their students get.

As you say, the incentive and resource for the university to do something about this just isn't there.

Not really as long as they don't guarantee that grade X guarantees a specific skill level. Clearly there is a usable correlation between grades and skill, but it's not super reliable, whence coding tests, interviews, requirements for n years experience, and so on.
