No offense to the other fields, but as an outsider to those fields, I feel that computer science is a far more varied and creative field than math or statistics.

With programming, you can write programs that use statistical analysis and modeling. But you can write programs that do things that are far less mathematical in nature. A web developer could create a content-focused website, including the backend and devops code. If said developer is far more focused on the content and less on the code (e.g. not much more than setting up WordPress and writing CS/JS and maybe some custom PHP), why should they have to get accredited for that?

It's not that math and statistics are lesser fields, but that computer science (or rather, what's commonly associated with it, such as programming) is a far more versatile and creative field. The difference between being accredited to write a legal opinion, and being a writer in general. But we don't credentialize writing.
