Imagine that the knowledge that a person is supposed to have gained, say, twenty years ago, turns out to have become obsolete, even false. Sure, commercial companies are keen to employ scientists with the aim of making profits. But if such companies had a choice how to spend money on staff training, they would most likely not send that money to universities. The answer is that the education system is one of the principle instruments in the hand of governments that want to indoctrinate people with its values. Newton's rules are taught at school, as school likes children to believe that there are simple rules that govern the universe.
School is to a large extent compulsory, adding coercion to the set of false values.
Teachers deliberately force dictatorial values upon children and the false idea that there is some kind of order in the universe is a cornerstone of that doctrine. The problem is that people are not allowed to decide directly on issues like this, it is hard to even get these issues discussed. Part of the problem is also that it is hard for people who have been indoctrinated for so many years that science is something good, to face up to the possibility that they have been mislead. School makes it look as if education is a process of incremental understanding, rather than that Newton, relativity, quantum mechanics and chaos are different apporaches that are to a large extent inconsistent with each other. Teachers like to present science as a set of uniform rules about which they almost understand everything.
