In recent years it's very possible they either don't use a language where that syntax is ever required (python) or just use one of the foreach variants in pretty much every language.

I can only think of Python, but are people learning that alone these days? In every other popular language, I can't imagine not ever encountering a situation where you also need to know the index of the iteration.
But also in every language there's syntax sugar to get the index.

In reality it's honestly just better in 99% of situations.
