A relative of mine has a recent PhD in pharmacy and wasn't familiar with this way of thinking. (In our conversation, they also expressed a believe that race is genetic). My hunch is that there are still a lot of old school professors out there, firmly stuck in their neodarwinian ways, teaching students like my relative outdated paradigms. It wasn't too long ago that this framework was scientifically taboo, considered Lamarckian, even pseudoscience. And scientists are horrified of being called "crack pots" or "pseudoscientific".
