>furthermore I'd argue it's pretty insulting to insinuate that Computer Science is somehow more difficult in this regard
Why in the world would that be insulting and who is it insulting to? If anything it's a reflection of how immature the industry is and how computer science degrees have minute overlap with software engineering.

It’s insulting to diminish the legitimate achievements of other people through unjustified comparison, in particular when doing so results in the elevation of the person doing it.
There is no objective criteria by which we can state computer science is a more difficult field than law or medicine. To imply that is therefore offensive, and people are not “immature” just because they react to offensive things by being insulted, even if you believe they shouldn’t feel insulted.
It's insulting to all the people who are doctors/lawyers/any number of other fields where the degree is just the entry point to being able to work in it.
