If true, can't non-snobby employers make tons of money by hiring less-credentialed workers with similar productivity for much lower wages?

Not sure the $ saved for an individual hiring manager would make a huge diff so risk might still outweigh. Even if CEO told massive company "hire non credentialed people we'll save money" I'm not sure it shifts incentives enough for manager hiring a few people a year.

Also, from perspective of software hiring, you only potentially save a lot if you are the first co to hire someone with no creds (recent dev bootcamp) who is actually skilled. After a few years of being good, salary gap closes. Finding those gems requires way more sifting.

There's also a component of plausible deniability. If a recruiter brings in someone w an impressive degree who ends up failing, they can say "bad luck, I made an educated guess". If they hire someone w no credentials who ends up bad at their job, the recruiter looks like an idiot

Spot on. Smaller organisations tend to have less of it as you're closer to the person who is balancing risk and reward. This also applies to things like who embraces new software.

I would agree regarding my college degree itself, but the experience I gained and the work I did with my peers was extremely valuable so it doesn’t negate going to college altogether
