Decision trees are a useful model with nice intuition. As with every ML model, there are examples where they perform well and examples where they don't. They benefit quite a bit from aggregation methods (random forests). If I had taught aggregation in more detail, I probably would have used decision trees as an example.

Thanks a lot.
