Most CS degrees aren't solely focused on software development. They are rooted in theory, data structures & algorithms (and the mathematics beneath them), and whatever electives are offered by the institution (today a lot of them are AI/Data Science intro courses). In my program, we have two classes where we build big projects, and in the end, there's a capstone project, but I have no idea how developers function in the wild. I feel like a lot of CS students live under a rock (at least I do :D )
