Any movement that gains traction will be corrupted. The moment companies want to hire people who tick a box, they pull on a supply chain of certification authorities (which includes, most perniciously in my opinion, grad schools) that codify and dumb down any set of good ideas and practices so that it's teachable at industrial scale to mediocrities. Back in the late Aughties I worked with someone who'd recently graduated from a design program and was interested in becoming a UX expert, the new-hotness of the moment. The person wanted to go nearly straight from undergrad to a Master's program at CMU. I -- being a HCI/UI person myself (and rolling my eyes at the term "UX") -- counseled doing freelance work for a couple years to get some practical experience that would provide grist for the grad school mill. No interest. I can't say I blame the person too much; big companies want to show their seriousness by hiring people with credentials, the value of the credentials be damned.
