Perhaps if most everything an industry uses is learned in college, you're setting that industry up for a low skill cap and thus maybe ageism. Anyways, if someone can get more done by using skills XYZ, maybe they'll outcompete firms not using it, and now we all have to learn XYZ or be relegated to more junior positions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some orgs might be, but they are better off hiding their secret from competitors, and thus we are not likely to hear about it. Warren Buffett often expresses shock that universities and investment organizations ignore his well-published techniques, following BS and fads instead. He and other "value investors" have big bucks lasting decades to prove it; they don't. They only have silver words and catchy-sounding theories. IT is the same, I'm afraid to say. The GREAT LIE of IT is that there's not a lot of real science in "computer science", beyond machine efficiency. It's much easier to do science and math to test and measure machines than it is the human mind, but code is meant for the human mind as much as machines. Humans make, read, and modify software, not machines: computers are just dumb automatons (hopefully) following instructions verbatim.
