There will always be a "higher" type of engineers who want to read TAOCP and similar.
My issue with the books is that they're actually quite long winded even by what you'd expect from the tone.
There's some really cool stuff in them, obviously, but I think they're objectively not very good textbooks for any purpose.
Then again I'm coming from a background of physics rather than mathematics so I'm not set out for a real battle of wits when it comes to constructing proofs.
