The problem with business majors (at least from my experience) is that a lot of the field has to do with economics and understanding data. Both of which require a person to delve deep in what something (either the data they have or a prospective change) actually means in practice.
This requires a person to keep asking questions and formulating answers to then ask more questions and so on. Which sadly the education system has always been poorly structured to do, even before it went all insane on us.
An example of the thinking required by a business major should be in the lines of:
Products is in shelves! How did it get there? By truck! What was the costs of logistics? X amount! How did product get on the truck! It was in Y warehouse! How did it get there...... And so on. And a proper business major should be able to tell you every step from raw materials to finished product and more (not the actual values maybe since he would have to look it up) and this is one of the easiest examples I can think of as it's a straight chain.
Most of the ones I come across don't even do one question let alone provide answers. They don't know how to understand something as they were only taught to follow what a textbook says.
The programs also don't cover how to work with the data. That's too much math and programming for the typical business major. It's better at the grad level, but it's still very bare bones. From what I've seen the typical business major is a dudebro type who wants to go into sales after college and doesn't want to do anything that takes real intelligence.
