I would say it is a matter of quality in computing related degrees.

My university did a pretty good job teaching the ways of the past.

Sadly things seem to have changed for the worst in the last 20 years.

Meaning teaching in the 90's the computing history of programming all the back to the early days.

Those majoring in systems programming had a good glimpse of OSes and programming languages.
