This comment seems misguided. I am a grad student working with LLMs in a CS department. I promise you CS has (and will have) much to say about theoretical underpinnings of transformers.
I can't see what you might be referring to. Even topics around quantization are fundamentally about information theory and not really computer science per se. It could just as easily be an explanation that your CS department is better-funded and more interested in tackling those problems -- statistics departments tend to be a bit behind the curve in this regard, but that doesn't magically move an entire branch of science somewhere else in the taxonomy.
Maybe if you can explain what you mean instead of merely providing some vague assertion, we could have a real conversation about it. In my experience, though, the hype train around software engineering has incited CS departments to retcon a lot of things as CS-related so that their grant writers have an easier time securing funding.
