Why Duke MMS is not a Cash Machine?

Just got admitted to a few top MSF programs and will probably end up going one of them due to the coronavirus. A friend advised many people here recognize Duke MMS even for IB path. I read through a dozen posts so far and am confused why recommend this master program when clearly admit other similar one-year cash cow programs are scam? (ex. JHU, Columbia, Uchicago)

Welcome any serious discussions here since Duke is obviously prestigious. I also looked into LinkedIn to find some graduates and only three of more than 100 got a job in IB/PE in the states after graduation.
