Well the issue is the majority of people study CS to become software engineers not academics in CS. There are only a small number of software engineering degrees at select universities, so CS is the de facto route to becoming a SWE. So it’s not unreasonable students would want a bit of practical industry education in their CS degree.

I’m actually surprised with as much money is in tech that there hasn’t been more influence towards shaping curriculum to be more industry relevant. Companies waste tons of money ramping up new grads and bridging the CS to SWE gap, surely the incentives are there for a different curriculum.
