I’m curious why would it better to focus on the system side of things instead of algorithms?

Because there are real problems to work on that benefit from the sort of problem solving with algorithms that students are hoping to do.
software algorithms need to be written once to be used by anyone (digital copies and all that)

systems side doesn’t have this problematic quality
