It's not just funding, it's when they steer education programs by threat of removing funding, or by providing free stuff or services; sometimes even more directly.
Education time is finite. If you focus on some specific you may miss out on general or a different specific. (Reminds me of a database course focused on Microsoft tooling... half the technologies now dead.)
It seems to me that the complaint begins and ends with the assumption that if something is good for a big corporation then it must be bad for society at large, and vice versa.
