that’s why people need a CS degree
to understand what they are actually doing
but companies don’t care, all they want is that lemon juice extracted by cheap labour

That's the wrong takeaway. Plenty of people know how to build "what's needed" instead of "what's requested", CS degree or not.
I'm not super confident it correlates at all, but if I were to make a guess, I'd say that people with CS degrees are more likely to focus on the wrong things (eg: take requirements as they are without thinking about the why and optimize the requirements given to them) compared to people who got into tech other ways. But that's just based on anecdotal data, won't apply everywhere and so on.
companies love obedience!
