MODERATORS
I think, their point (and also my experience) is that you get taught about it in university a lot more than about simple loops, so it feels more important even though you rarely use it in reality.
Same thing goes for linked lists and inheritance...
Linked lists are encountered somewhat frequently in low level systems programming.
