I went to school fifteen years ago and even then the focus was less on “computer science” and more on “software engineering”. I think, with the enormous rise in demand during the 2010s and the regression to the mean of the undergrads, many programs became almost like trade schools, more “software technician” than “engineer”. My (weak) prediction is that if the decreased money in tech continues for several more years, coupled with the advent of AI, we’ll see a shift back to more rigorous courses.
