I don't disagree with you, but I think we need to define what you mean by "systems knowledge" because clearly the company has changed that definition to be "what does the switch do" and that's about it.
In a 175, that sometimes works. In a CRJ I'd imagine it's necessary to actually understand the operation of the system beyond the little system logic that exists.
FWIW, I did fly with a CA that didn't even know our MLW and was planning on landing 3,000 pounds overweight.

That was such a complete waste of time though. I always brain dumped that stuff within a week. Definitely need to know where to find that info, but memorizing it is silly.

I have copies of all the systems tests for the last 10 years. They basically have gone from some difficult questions at a basic Commercial pilot written test level to about 4th grade/Dr. Seuss level. EP&l test failures were hindering all the training going forward and thus omitted.
It's the tide of change......
