I believe CS degrees shouldn't focus too much on industry skills. Sure it is good to have some engineering focused courses that are likely to be useful in long term(C programming, design patterns), but most courses should be theory heavy.

If you take any specific domain of CS, there are only going to be few hundred good professors on that topic at most in entire world. Them spending their time on teaching undergrads industry skills is wasteful IMO.

Profs should focus on creating next generation of researchers. Bootcamps/Corps/Youtubers should focus on next generation of developers.
