Yes. It's almost like math or science or english at this point. They may go their entire life without using many of the more advanced concepts they learn in those subjects, but being aware of them is important. In the same way, they might go their whole lives without doing any serious programming, but knowing that it's possible to automate a lot of little things they use on the computer and what they should look up if they ever get the urge could help empower theirs and others lives.
