I think it depends where you end up, but where I currently work we almost mandated that devs at least get familiar with how to use it, if not necessarily use it in everyday work. It's just too useful and valuable to omit.

What I've also found is it's incredibly useful for domain knowledge too. I've been working on a project around electrical grids, and when I had to go deep into how AC grid electrical engineering stuff, it was very very helpful. It's useful for business related stuff too.

At the end of the day, I think it's a powerful tool that shouldn't become a crutch, and any company saying otherwise is sabotaging themselves. But that's not to say they wouldn't be a good place to work for, companies sabotage themselves in all sorts of ways :)
