Agree, I‘d say also the term „mathematical programming“ sounds really old school and never was that fitting to begin with. „Learning how to formulate problems as integer/linear programming ones“, as another commenter put it, works great if it‘s a natural fit and sure is fun for idk 7th grade math text problems I guess but OTOH squeezing realistic problems into systems of hundreds of equations (or more if dealing with linearizations of inherently non-linear/concave/multi-step problems) to satisfy tool idiosyncracies calls for additional tools in your arsenal.
