Computer science is essentially applied mathematics. We need it to build supercomputers to do important research, but it also develops technology itself. A commercial software developer is like a technician. The research domain is funded by universities, government labs, tech companies.
If you ask strangers on the internet what they "respect" you could be talking to time cube or flat Earth people. Some things are simply important regardless of their online popularity or publicity.
Programming as a skill or activity is not inherently a scientific endeavor. Conducting research in computer science is, and this involves high level math beyond what you typically see as a normal software engineer.
Take a look at some of the most difficult algorithm problems demanded by the top tech employers and you will see that it does not require the application of high level math. Not even calculus. Like 20 lines of code from a memorized algorithm.
Read some recently published papers on machine learning models if you want to see the cutting edge of computer science. It requires the application of high level math and is a fascinating subject.
