I get what you're saying but I feel like this also discredits university and bootcamp students. I can tell you from experience that university students are definitely "putting in the effort to learn," they're just learning from a defined curriculum and being graded and guided by a person who should know better (however, in my experience, professors are often out of touch with what modern professional level programming is like). Just because a student has a mentor and a syllabus doesn't mean they aren't "active learners." Like I said though, I do get what you're saying.
Yes most teachers in academic institutions are out of touch, youtube however gives us much better teachers, so do other online platforms where the material is curated by algorithm, by human feedback et al
