Your comment mentioned that those people are higher educated. Just because you have a piece of paper that said I completed these courses and was handed a diploma does not necessarily mean you are smart or intelligent or a good leader. Also, it says in your comment it does not train you on decision-making but teaches you how to stand on information to make decisions. Your reply confirms what the post and the book refers to. As you grow in your career, you will find no matter the education level, Humans are still humans. They can be jealous, they can be deceitful, they can steal, and they can make terrible decisions that can lead subordinates on a different trajectory that could be devastating. There is an insurmountable list of companies where highly educated leadership were poor decision makers because they did not have a moral compass.
I think you missed the whole point. Teaching someone to "make" decisions is not allowing them to make decisions. Each person evaluates the input differently and has different goals and directions. There is hardly ever a decision that has a right or wrong answer. If you train someone to make a decision they aren't making a decision they are doing what you want. Decision making is more on having a vision and using the data available to try and get there. The key is to communicate why you made a decision and your intentions. Some decisions are risky and most people training would tell you not to do that. And many degrees aren't functional so I'm speaking of degrees that are in things like business or medical. And higher degrees like master's and doctorate's. Bachelor's gets you basic information in a field and general knowledge. You can also get a bachelor's in things like liberal arts and even archery. Those degrees are pretty useless.
Decision Making Training isn’t learning how to make decisions one way, it is adding several tools to your toolset to better make decisions and be Efficient. For example, if your company taught Kaizen, Six Sigma, or lean methodologies, or even the Eisenhower matrix, to all we could help strengthen or management and front line workers. I have had lots of training on making the sale, marketing, insurance knowledge, but never those. I mentioned them to my manager and he had never heard of them. We could definitely use more training because it would help us all front line or senior management.

Everything in my line of work has structured ways of making decisions. I wanna say that the author is incorrect though. I believe most people in those positions have a degree and are higher educated. Higher education may not directly "train" you on decision making but teaches you how to stand on information and hold your own defending your stances and understanding outcomes. It is also not decision making if you are controlled into making the decision. A majority of all the most successful companies currently have made decisions outside of norms. Most of those companies also push thinking outside of the box and taking chances like Tesla Google Meta Amazon etc
I wish people would learn bout decision making! It's my pet peeve of leadership right now. Nobody will make a darn decision!
