I think the difference between 'computer science' and just 'science' is definitely non-trivial. And I think that difference has practical applications and changes how we humans think about and interact with those concepts. I don't know if anything in here reflects the nature of reality, but it definitely reflects and can inform how we deal with the nature of human thought on these subjects.

Soviet academia had an aphorism to the effect that any discipline which contains the word "science" (or "scientific") in its name is not a real science. I.e. "political science", "scientific communism", etc. Makes sense, since real science doesn't need to emphasize the fact that it is a real science :)
