Engineers need that math. Lawyers and accountants, not quite. They need a different sort of math. Programmers need a different sort of math. Graphic designers barely need math. Doctors need a different math. Not all professions need all the math.
This is true, but studies have shown the importance of learning the basics. I'm not saying every student needs to take a calculus course in high school, but they should know at least algebra. Math is problem solving and everyone needs to know problem solving.

Nobody complains about learning basics. Nobody minds. It's being forced to know more than that.
