I agree that it should be taught, though I am not sure it requires any less abstract thinking than computer science, depending on how deep you go.

This sounds like an argument that you can make for many fields. In data science, certainly you can cover topics like clustering and PCA, which are reasonably advanced, but straightforward to teach because they can be visualized very clearly.
