I personally find this situation unfortunate. It returns us back to learning subverting requiring that something to be “useful” for some arbitrary definition of useful. It’s the same story of the failure of trying to make mathematics or philosophy or whatever appear “useful” or “practical” to students. It doesn’t work because the point of learning is not to directly get you a job or put something n your resume or be “useful”.
