School districts pay more to people with advanced degrees, even if the degrees are worthless, so people go and earn them. They don’t want to spend a lot of time jumping through pointless hoops, so they choose the easiest and cheapest programs they can find and universities accommodate them.
You can’t blame people for responding to incentives, but when the incentives are perverse, they ought to be changed.
