I think you're exaggerating how impractical Computer Science curricula are. CSE courses at major universities generally include courses on everything from Systems Programming, to Compiler Construction, to Data Structures and Algorithms, to OOP design, to Database Systems, to Graphics Programming, to Web Programming, etc etc. Each one of these will (at least should!) have several homework assignments and a final project that all involve submitting working code. I'm not saying that CSE degree programs shouldn't teach you how to write code or require you to write code. I'm just saying that they are not vocational training and therefore should not focus on training students to use whatever specific tools are popular in industry. Contrast that with community college certificate programs where they offer courses like "C# Programming in Visual Studio" and "iOS Application Development." Those programs' mission is to get you a job, and they also cost much less time and money than a bachelor degree.
