It's not the subject matter per se, it's the difference in habits and typical incentives for people who identify more with one description or the other. For many products and businesses, it's not really necessary to avoid long-term dead-ends (say 3-5 years) if you can be much more effective in the short-term (say 3-12 months). So a high up-front cost (required knowledge and planning / research experience) approach often loses out to simply banging out more code, which requires little CS knowledge.
