And every time they've been wrong in my experience. Sure there's some learning to actually apply and use it, but it's never been straight useless.

The reason why you hear this so often is because academia is designed to teach students based on a logical, reasonable curriculum. The curriculum will be mostly well-thought-out and cover all the important topics. Then you take someone who followed this perfectly reasonable path and you place them in front of *the total shitshow* that is most businesses. Everything they think they know won't be applicable because most of the time, logic and reason were not what drove adoption of any given tool or practice.
