Yes, clearly I am not advocating that anyone of any experience should be allowed to do any job. OP is positing that there is a decline in software quality because of developers who don't know those CS concepts. I don't agree.
If you're saying you wouldn't hire a developer who didn't know those concepts in your domain, OK.. I don't know what your domain is. Software is a huge field as I'm sure you know and there are many domains in which the requirements include understanding these CS concepts.
If you're saying you wouldn't hire a developer who didn't understand CPU pipelines in ANY software engineering context, I strongly believe you would be missing out on some highly skilled & capable people.
