"Fashions" like these are disasterous.

Many of those students do not realise that a straight mathematics degree has been proven for many decades to be far more valuable, flexible in a larger variety of careers, and even significantly more enjoyable (across the breadth of a career) until it is far too late.

The only silver lining is that the US university system is remarkably flexible and so being able to change major(s) reduces the risks somewhat.
