That's generally true.
What is important, though, is how the very young devs are molded the first time they come to an organization.
I have long experience working for various enterprises. One outlier company I worked for is Intel. Intel or at least the organization I worked for seems to be aiming to hire almost exclusively fresh out of university just to be the first one to "mold" the young engineer. Young engineers are immediately treated as adults trusted with their projects. Managers (not all, but I would say majority) seems themselves as shepherds rather than commanders. They will ensure projects are assigned to engineers and that engineers create value and they will try to debug if there is any cause of concern but will not assume the typical "single point of contact, single point of decision and authority on everything" role seen in most corporations.
This of not true of all managers at Intel but it was very striking to me when I joined the company with some 15 years of experience in dev under my belt.
Junior engineers seem to adjust to this immediately and seem to genuinely try their best to do best and try to seek wisdom which there typically is a lot of in the close vicinity.
