I still don't get why people who've done long internships or co-ops aren't considered to have "experience". What's up with that?

How else do freshers survive in this changing industry? Not everyone comes from a Computer Science degree; there are students who gain experience working as interns.

I think it's time tech companies considered internships (like 3 months+) as experience.

Disclaimer: I'm not a fresher and have more than 7 YOE. I just wanted a discussion around this for freshers
