Anecdotal but this matches my experience. I went to generic public school for ocean engineering and took tons of embedded classes. I then worked on a student robot project and was shocked when the CS students were completely lost with how to approach writing drivers and interfaces for the sensors and such. I thought that would be standard for CS.

No, that would be standard for computer engineering, not CS.

Try to have a conversation about hardware to many practicing software developers who were CS majors and they'll look at you as if you've grown a second head.

I think that stuff tends to be more common for EEs and CompEs.
