I think the problem is that software engineering isn't computer science. Other than practicing some leet code in between jobs, it's extremely rare any of that stuff comes up. The hard parts in my job isn't and hasn't been the computer science parts in a long time, or at least when it does come up it's not something I really think about much. The trade offs are almost always domain, business or product based. The technical solutions are just down stream of those constraints.
