I think in order to be a better Engineer you need to have a solid understanding of C.S concepts. that's why a lot of the big tech companies require you to know them because with the concepts of CS you can make high scalable applications with high performance. Google for example doesn't matter if you think you are backend, frontend etc. Everyone at google takes essentially the same interviews focus on CS and based on that they can determine what can of SE you will be and they can place you in the department they think you fit the best
