By the same argument, chemical engineering belongs with biology, because the chemicals produced (and their byproducts) impact biological systems. Which is true, but it still doesn't mean that the two disciplines should be lumped together.

Computing may need more exposure to social sciences, but it absolutely does not belong within the social sciences. (More accurately, product management or program management needs more exposure to the social sciences - those who decide what programs are going to do and how they're going to interact with people and society. Computing in general - algorithms, programming techniques, and so on - doesn't even need that.)
