Because they payed for an education, not a job, ie they payed to improve their knowledge and skills.
What would you charge for golf lessons if you had to guarantee that the student would graduate into a job using their new skills and knowledge?
As a customer, I think it would be cheaper for me to pay by the hour.
So, having said that, would you pay to go to a university if, on the front end, your fairy godmother said: "you will aquire knowledge and skills but you will absolutely not be allowed to use them to get a job. But you will have the satisfaction of being more knowledgeable and skillful."
