you're acting as if internships are easy to get into. dont know about cs/programming ones. but other stems like bio/biotech are notirously difficult and competitive to get one, if you can even find it. so most people try to get into limited lab spaces at a uni instead, and all the internships ive seen require a very high gpa plus geared only for specific scientists.
They are. Almost all tech companies have cs internships. There's almost nothing to loose and a lot to gain.
But, again, there's loads of FOSS projects on github with tickets tickets that you can just start contributing to. That's also experience and highly valued.
