I am not sure how many people have an issue with this, but it seems to me that computer science, just over the relatively short time I've been paying attention, is becoming more-and-more abstract in a lot of ways.
You can code something incredibly complex that works great without understanding any of the math underneath. Understanding the math arguably makes you a better engineer overall, but isn't required to solve many of these problems.
I think it's pretty cool, but I'm sure a lot of people have a big issue with the "just TRUST the library!" approach.
