I agree that it has only been a few times in my 20+ years that I needed some CS knowledge to get a project done. However, when those times did arise, it was a complete roadblock for developers who lacked the knowledge.
It is the difference between being able to say, "I can code anything... some things are just harder than others." and "I can only do web development, and cannot be put on project requiring CS or advanced math."
Which does not mean you need a CS degree - on the contrary, I find self-taught coders to be quite good. But self-tech yourself at least some CS knowledge as well.
