Aren't most computer scientists more like technicians or engineers than actual scientists?

Computer science is so broad you have some truth to your statement. It's more science in the way math is a science as math is one of the underlying building structure of computer science. It also deals with languages and syntax so that's also a subset of science.

Some comp sci people are technicians, computer engineers, some being computer researchers, data scientists, etc
