What makes you assume that a self taught coder would lack theoretical CS knowledge? Are you confusing bootcamp graduates with self taught coders?

With AI it's infinitely easier, but even before there have been plenty of self taught developers with good CS grounding.

Because that's what self taught means. I would not consider myself to be a "self taught coder" for example because I have a CS degree.
