I think it's related to the idea that people are going to college for "training". I see the word 'training', implying blue collar vocational education, used a lot nowadays for supposedly university education. Someone will train you, meaning show you the reproducible steps for operating the machinery or replacing worn brakes. So a lot of people getting these degrees (regardless of country) are expecting to be shown what to do step by step, and that no design will be involved on their own part, given specifications they mechanically translate the specifications into working code.
