> idk what kind of legacy orgs people in this thread work for where there are Linux sysadmins working for their companies which directly manage server configs and security settings.

I don't know if you consider Amazon/AWS "legacy org". When I worked there I didn't think it was a legacy org. Yet they needed skilled Linux sysadmins. Sure they are called by fancy names like infrastructure engineer, production engineer, etc. but the work they did used core Linux kernel skills, scripting skills and programming skills, just to name a few of the skills.

A few years later I worked for another cloud provider and it was no different. I don't understand why you think only legacy orgs care about good system-administration skills.

Yes, obviously the people who offer the virtualized infrastructure are going to need the sysadmins. I'm talking about the majority of businesses and engineers which aren't cloud service providers, but rather customers of those providers.
