Harsh! To be fair, it's meant for students at the university to see a real-life success story from their program. My school had these all the time and used them as a way to keep people engaged.
How often do students learn about real-life failure stories? For famous historical examples with books about them: GO Corp (1990-era pen computing) and the Chandler project (personal information manager, mid 2000).
I've personally found some stories about failures to be quite informative, because they help show failure modes I had never suspected. But I had to learn about most of these post-school.
