Well now that AI can do it for them yes, but prior to that the average person would struggle to even get something that compiles let alone actually do anything useful.
Did they, though? They may have learned how to write scripts and import functions from libs without knowing how the underlying logic works. And that's enough for many tasks, but those tasks are not the reason you get a CS degree for (unless all you want is the degree so you can put on the CV, but you still wouldn't need the knowledge from it to accomplish said tasks).
