I think your point is that software is like "engineering" "Biology" or "house building" - one siloed skill amoung many that some people will specialise in I disagree - I think software is more horizontal - it allows great improvement of any form of knowledge work, and is much more comparable to "learning to read" (or perhaps sits somewhere in a hierarchy of horizontal skills between "reading" and "statistics")
