Absolutely HARD disagree. Pythagoras, Aristotle, Pascal, Descartes, Newton, Franklin, DaVinci, (just to name a few) were all polymaths. They all left lasting impacts outside of a singular domain. It's because they were such well rounded individuals that they were so successful and capable of revolutionary discoveries and inventions. Our world is made up of models that are related with other models that are related based off of that relatedness. It's maddening. Being "well rounded" is vital.

Today that concept is watered down. A "well rounded" education is just taking a few classes that people hate and will blow off because to graduate they need to check some boxes so they can focus on doing one thing moderately well and finding their place as a cog in a machine that will abuse their ignorance. It's all mass produced conveyor belt education that manufactures young adults with little conventional wisdom. The more you lean into behaving like a part, the more you will be treated that way.
