Because that's not the point of academic degrees? They're not job training certifications - you don't need a B.S. to program. Programming and engineering skills are auxiliary to computer science.
No matter if it's the point of them or not I was responding to "for the most part, people graduate from these online universities without the skills needed for the jobs they want." Pointing out that it's not unique to online universities.
(Either way, if you are going to teach programming at all version control is a big part of programming so it should be taught.)
