It's worse than that. A college degree is required for jobs in big businesses solely because the resume scanning software will reject an applicant with 15 years of experience on the job in lieu of an applicant with a degree and 2 years experience delivering pizza.
The experience is not germane unless you can get your resume in front of a real person. That doesn't happen until your resume gets past the software.
Given the business environment, I can't summon any outrage against those who buy degrees from diploma mills.
