To be honest, there’s approximately zero reasons to teach major-grade math to just about anyone but math majors. None of the applied math disciplines need go that deep, and what they do need depends on the field (physics is all about analysis, CS is about algebra and discrete math, and so on).

In terms of material learned maybe, in terms of shaping logical thinking and tackling hard problems there is a huge benefit.
