I have often seen it pitched as "Software engineers make a lot of money! Everyone should learn to code!". It's not quite an explicit link, but it's often strongly implied.
Individuals can understand nuance, people don't.
I'm reminded of that exchange from Men In Black. J (Will Smith) insists that people will understand about aliens, K (Tommy Lee Jones) disagrees:
J: "Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it."
K: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow."
"Mathematicians make a lot of money! Everyone should learn to count!"
"Authors make a lot of money! Everyone should learn to write!"
"Cartographers make a lot of money! Everyone should learn to read a map!"
"Micheal Phelps got a lot of Olympic gold medals! Everyone should learn to swim!"
