In the world permeated by computing devices, a lot of people could benefit from being computer-literate in the sense that they have a passing familiarity of what a program is made of (at least that conditionals and loops exist, and by having flawed logic in them you get bugs), and that they could whip up a scrappy spreadsheet with a couple of formulae using a computer or even their phone. It's more or less like with reading and writing ("I can write" doesn't mean "I'm a writer"), or driving, or other artifacts of modern life.
