What is the importance of having all computer scientists understand how websites are built and operate?

Question

Explain the importance of having all computer scientists understand how websites are built and operate. 

Answer 1

Although this seems very much like a homework question, I am still interested in giving my own opinion on it.

Assuming that all computer scientists are required to understand how websites are built and operate, there would definitely be a larger increasing in the ability to correctly community across teams.

Now for an opinion:

I personally do not believe "all" computer scientists should be required to learn web development. I do however, believe, any new information learned gives you an advantage. If you are great at developing utilities in C, deploying ML models in TensorFlow, Python, whathaveyou, that's great! But if you enter a job that heavily requires your backend skills, and the front-end team is working closely with the backend, the coworker on your team that played with webservers will typically have the advantage, or at least become the main intermediary.
