I don't think he's intending to contest those needs. I also don't think he meant to imply that they should have CS degrees. Obviously I can't speak for leokun, but my impression was that he simply doesn't want to see the industry flooded with people who only want to make a quick buck without caring the slightest bit about what they're actually doing. At the risk of generalizing far too much, the people who used to go to Wall Street didn't exactly have a reputation of caring about what they were contributing to the world; it's those same people who are now flocking to the tech sector. It's a viewpoint I can sympathize with. As someone who doesn't expect to get rich off an IPO or acquisition and therefore will be spending most (all?) of my working life in this industry, I'd prefer to work alongside competent people (whether that be in development or business) who aren't just trying to get rich quick.
