If "smart person" is a proxy for "scientists and engineers", the answer seems obvious; it's not included in their education.
Not in primary school, not in secondary school, not in their major, and not in graduate school.
If people truly believed in the importance of "smart people" learning about philosophy, they would put more effort into making sure they were actually taught some at some point.
