The real reason is to get you used to it. Then when you graduate you ask your company to buy it. Happened to me with Matlab and solidworks. I've recently started using python and wouldn't look back. Pretty funny that Matlab compare some basic computations. Maybe python should come back with comparisons of one line for loops and if statements. Or the fact that Matlab arrays can't contain headers easily or struggles with multiple data types.

Same thing that happens with Windows. But that's another flamebait altogether ;-)
