Tbh, as a dev knowledge of transistors is about as essential as knowledge about screws for a car driver.

It's common knowledge and in general maybe a little shameful to not know, but it's really not in any way relevant for the task at hand.

Maybe for dev knowledge, but computer science? The science of computers?

Well, computer science is not the science of computers, is it? It's about using computers (in the sense of programming them), not about making computers. Making computers is electrical engineering.

We all know how great we IT people are at naming things ;)

Computational theory would be a better name, but it overlaps with a more specific subset of what is normally called CS.

We could also just call it Software Engineering. That's at least the job everyone gets with a Computer Science degree.
