Maybe your observation holds true for the majority, but in my case my PhD taught me how to be self-reliant, work autonomously, plan ahead and cope with a high workload. Now that I've switched to industry, I've found these qualities are serving me extremely well. However, I've tried motivating some former colleagues to make the switch and they just won't so maybe you have a point. But I would refrain from stereotyping.
