Just because Comp Sci and many STEM degrees in general are losing value does not mean that university overall is not worthwhile.

This is not something that can be measured ahead of time, what someone does with their education.
Not sure what you mean by that, many other degrees still have plenty of value because they teach "soft skills" that are more broadly applicable and more difficult to automate. Hard skills always get automated away.
The question is not “does it provide any value whatsoever?” The question is “does a degree provide surplus value to society, given its costs?”
