Why are (both) project + and ITIL certifications part of the CS degree program?

Currently enrolled in the WGU CS degree program and I do not understand why either, much less both, ITIL and Project + classes are on the degree path. This is a plain computer science program not a business or management focused degree.

#1 I highly doubt that anyone is going to be hiring a project or service manager new to the CS field. I believe that as well as WGU may believe their degree prepares students that employers would rather select a candidate for these jobs with actual field experience rather than a fresh graduate with a BS.

#2 By the time students will have gained such experience their certifications will have expired and they would have to study and retake exams again which makes the time spent obtaining it through WGU wasted for anything but credits.

#3 (Regarding both) ITIL and Project + cover many of the same topics and seem somewhat redundant. I am aware different companies and specific jobs will want a specific certification but again this is a basic CS degree.

#4 Comptia is more than just a certification company they also employ lobbyists to push legislation which students may not wish to contribute in any way towards.

#6 (Regarding Comptia) If a Comptia certification is desired for the program several others seem to relate more closely to the degree and would have the additional benefit of renewing the A+ certification that many obtained during WGU academy or independently. Project + does not renew other certs so you do not even get that benefit.

For additional fun reading you may enjoy this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/WGU/comments/ryyqnp/itil_foundations_seems_like_such_a_scam/ of which their are several similar ones. Given how many students seem to share my confusion I wonder why these courses are included especially given that the testing fees must make these classes cost more than WGU internally created classes.

Donning my tin-foil hat I might consider that perhaps Comptia and ITIL subsidize or waive entirely the certification fees for WGU and other similar organizations to ensure that their are enough people with their certifications in the workforce to keep themselves relevant.
