If the point of CS education is to produce programmers and software engineers as opposed to computer scientists, yes.

What percentage of CS graduates go onto become computer scientists? Seems like vast majority of CS degree holders aren't practicing "pure" computer science, as you would seemingly hope.

Probably a very low amount. When I was studying I participated as a student representative at the CS programme I was attending and this was something that was actively being addressed.
The problem was multi-pronged. The courses had become increasingly geared toward industry, and students that had an interest weren't really fit for continuing their studies.
In the end, the longer 5 year program (MSE) was allowed to remain more vocational while those seeking a bachelor's were brought along a much more theoretical path so they could then do a master's followed by a PhD.
