Before LeNet and AlexNet, SVMs were the best algorithms around. People used HOG+SVM, SIFT, SURF, ORB, older Haar / Viola-Jones features, template matching, random forests, Hough Transforms, sliding windows, deformable parts models… so many techniques that were made obsolete once the first deep networks became viable.

The problem is your schooling was correct at the time, but the march of research progress eventually saw 1) the creation of large, million-scale supervised datasets (ImageNet) and 2) larger / faster GPUs with more on-card memory.
