Well, to be fair, if there is not place at all for the people, those professors do in fact help their students.

They got that mentality from some kind of trauma themselves. I'm not sure it's even the wrong adaptation, since it's not in their power to fix the systematic issue.

One of the systemic issues that needs fixing is the gatekeeping itself. Weeding out serves no purpose because there's work besides just analog ic design roles. Industry complains because undergraduate programs have become so detached from reality focusing on stupid stuff that everyone graduates way more underprepared than they should be.
