Playing devil's side:

It's dependent on the job, but anyway they can learn this stuff not only during work hours (learning hours or whatever it is called), but also in their free time

It's not like only Academia is authorized to teach DS&A, FP

I mean, yes, you can learn these things on your own, but that's by no means an excuse that higher education should focus less on these aspects.

It shouldn't be the default that university teaches you job skills and leaves you to learn the theory on your own.

Honestly, I really don't see a solid case there.
