To your first point: I had core computing classes throughout high-school. In those days they were there to help you get proficient with Word, Excel etc. (they were the big "you have to know these to get a good job" tools at the time). In my last couple of years the curriculum was expanded to include a number of Python programming modules. So I wouldn't say having a dedicated computing class is all that far fetched.
I think delving into a conversation about whether learning to code will be essential going forward might be a bit too tangental for this thread.
Good chat, though. It's always interesting to see a different perspective 👍

Yea, maybe my country is just a bit behind on this.
