The software is indeed older than Covid, but its common usage by widely respected schools is not.

So your preferred solution would be to just stop all education for the duration of the pandemic? Although online education sucks, I'm not sure if most students would agree with you.

In all fairness, as we agree that the education experience (and the education?) does not come up to the pre-covid standard, I can see employers discriminating against students who graduated under these circumstances. Students should have an incentive of that not happening, and thus welcome a gap year.
