Spot on, I agree that sequence diagrams are super useful, I see them used all the time in FAANG.
I do really wonder why UML is still taught in universities, as the article states, it's pretty useless. I took a masters Software Engineering course at Georgia Tech two years ago and a big part of the class was learning UML. That time was mostly wasted as I've never used any of it and never met anyone who has used it.
It wasn't my first time learning it either, we also had a section on it in my undergrad software engineering course. So I learned the same useless stuff twice.
