>Computer Science students convinced that Linux is 100% not worth learning, in any way, because nobody uses it.

I learned Linux, and used it all throughout school. We never touched Windows or learned about how to develop on it.

I am now a full time, happily-embedded-in-the-windows- ecosystem C# developer.

I think fundamentals + balance of education on implementations is a more practical approach for a CS curriculum rather than "OMG LINUX IS TEH BEST AND ONLY".
