Thanks, GK.
Your responses made me think that people recognize concrete and tangible ideas easier than abstract ones. That may explain the comfort with design 1-2 in different levels from design education to the general public. I take well your recommendation of engaging with communities to model design projects beyond 1-2.
For undergraduate education, I think a first step is to at least include service design skills. And graduate education should definitely start to focus on 3-4. You said that some “practice-based academies” are working on design 3-4. I assume NextD is one, could you mention a couple more? I’d like to review what they do.
