Opinions on tech focused high schools -> industry

I’ve seen tech and science focused high schools in the bay, but a lot if not all of them arent solely tech and science focused.
I’m convinced even from a college level, all the extra GE BS isn’t necessary. If a kid knows they want to go into tech, should they be able to start and focus on it from a young age?
If it doesn’t work out, they can always switch and solely focus on whatever other field they figured out they would like too, and still probably be done at the same age as with the traditional education route.
Thoughts?

English, literature, writing etc are important secondary skills imo
And you never know where information may come in handy. It’s important to have some level of knowledge about how the world works, how money works etc.
GEs are about freedom, your ability to discover things you’re interested, that may not be your primary focus. There are a lot applicable life skills that you may miss out on without a variety of exposure
