The fine European-academic tradition of considering actual development as grunt work that is an unworthy thing to do for the great minds. You can see where it got the European software industry as compared to the US. It is endlessly frustrating. "Software Engineering" in Europe is the other kind of bad, learning methodology without knowing what it is applied to, and learning some "enterprise grade" rubbish. It is as if no one who has anything to say in academia here knows how good software is actually created. And that is probably the case. </rant>
