But Blender is also free in schools, so why not use that?

Because Maya is the industry standard and while Blender and Maya are very similar, they aren't identical.

I thought Blender was the standard. I always thought of it as the only instance when the FOSS tool was the standard.

Every single team I’ve worked in that needed a 3D creation tool has been on Maya. Certainly in the games industry it’s the 99.99% standard.
