Huh, I have never run into such a person, though I’ve run into a few professors who were bad teachers. But in your experience it’s common: you say “In my experience university teachers really don’t give a crap about the students understanding anything”.
Is it really that common? Are you generalizing too much?
Maybe it’s a difference between different countries. Have you read Richard Feynman’s account of teaching in Brazil?
Well, in short, science education in Brazil was consistently terrible because it taught students to value memorization but not understanding. In long, you can read his account here.
