What you seem to want is a Software Engineering degree. They exist. Hire people with those degrees if that's what you're looking for.
My CS degree was about 50/50 CS and programming. I felt is was a good balance, but there was still tons I needed to learn on the job. I'd never done web dev outside of that one weekend I checked out codecademy. I'd never set up a web server or pulled a repo from github or any of the other things you'd want me to be able to do in industry, because they weren't a part of my education. I did write a tcp/ip server from scratch, make Roombas write things, and the like, because those were part of my education, but none of that has come in handy in my current job.
There's a real divide between what education is and what industry leaders think it should be. It has never been and likely will never be about churning out job-ready young adults with all the skills industry wants. That's vocational school, not university. Don't confuse the two.
