I think this is part of a more general problem with universities: they are designed to teach you academia, not practical industry knowledge. They don't teach you what you need to know because that was never their goal. (maybe this isn't true for every field, but in my experience it seems to be for most)
Ideally a lot more people would be doing apprenticeships or vocational courses instead, not getting Bachelor's and Master's degrees. This isn't really viable now though because of the expectation society has for everyone to get a university degree.

Most plumbers don't need to be theoretical experts in hydraulics and pneumatics; but there certainly is time when such expertise is called for.
