Yeah you can't JUST do CS anymore. Why would you hire a CS grad to do your project when you have to plan it to the end and provide rigid specifications to follow? Instead you can hire an engineer or someone from stat or data analytics that ALSO comes with a boatload of programming (and often software architecting) expertise?
It only makes sense to hire someone with a CS specialty if the problem your company solves specifically calls for that specialty. That's is getting increasingly rare in the age of SaaS, containerization, IaaS, etc.
Ultimately the problem is an over saturated market and universities letting their programs grow too large.
The ultimate problem is greed and an uncontrolled lust for power.
