Yes, but I think that extends well beyond coding to include half or more of the UG CS curriculum. The rose of object-oriented groupthink is most pronounced among CS graduates, to the general detriment of the software dev world.
I learned the downside to domain ignorance early in my career when a engineering manager confided to me, “It's eadier to teach an engineer to code, than teach a computer scientist engineering.” The same applies to biology, medicine, chemistry, culture, and many other domains where mastery of context is difficult yet essential.
And I've found those turn out to be the most interesting software jobs.
