Because that’s a graduate level specialist topic. The same way you probably shouldn’t waste your time majoring in “business.” You’re supposed to learn how to think and broaden your intellectual horizons not go to trade school.
Wait... are practical skills some low-status trade school thing, or a graduate-level specialist thing? Can one not "learn how to think" in the context of building skills that are actually of direct use?

I just don’t think a traditional college education should be about trying to major in “leadership and organizations”. Even the military service academies require their students training to be military officers have “real” majors

I learned a lot of theory in college. The practical skills I picked up were from working on the job. Don’t major in “entrepreneurship”. You can read a book for that. In college you learn to read and think critically about the books you will later read
