Universities are places where you go for intellectual pursuit of your interests, which is why majors like "study of russian history", "Anthropology And Archeology" exists. The major may be useless for employment, but the study helps preserve history and can be very interesting for the students who are passionate about it.

Somehow, society wrongly started associating universities for corporate job preparation.

I think people are starting to realize that if you want to get prepared for work, you should go to a trade training (like bootcamps). If you are priviledged enough to pursue your interests, then universities are a great place to be.
