No one asked you because you already have a degree in CS. But for a non CS graduate things are different I guess
So the idea is to get your foot in whatever door you can at that time, and climb when you can.
This is like the "boomer handshake" meme. Nowadays you need a degree.
Admittedly, this was at a company with about 500 employees and 1 part-time HR person (who quit 6 months later and wasn't replaced).
I've been asked about my education in initial recruiter screens maybe 10% of the time, and its come up later down the line in interviews maybe 20% of the time. I've never had it clearly and obviously preclude me from moving forward (as in obviously dropped from consideration after that conversation).
I've found most people who ask to be curious, but keen to move on and talk about my experience. It might be different at the entry level.
