Not even close to being true. I’m forced at times to get certifications for enterprise-y tools and software. Many networking engineers need a Cisco cert to get started. Same with a lot of security analysts. If you’re working in Defense you’ll need to get a cert(s) at some point. Way back being Microsoft certified was all the rage. I was catering at the time near a Microsoft training office and they were a very good customer. The rooms didn’t have a single seat and people were flying in to take them. This was 15 years ago.
