That's likely because "producing effective developers" is not a focus of CS education. It's to make you understand fundamentals of computation, such as complexity and algorithms, as well as give a deeper understanding of computers both on a technical as well as a theoretical level.

These are all skills that can aid in becoming a great developer, but they are only supplementary. I'd say that a better course of education to take if one plans to become a developer is some form of software engineering, but not computer science.
