While the subject matter itself may not be used in the day to day job for some, most are in positions that wanted physics/math/engineering degrees.

That's the thing: The information taught by the degree isn't what's useful. What's useful are the mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills practiced over the course of the degree, which can be learned pretty generally by getting a BSc in any somewhat-related field.

Conversely, we want to steer students away from degrees that don't have a prospective future if it means they will end up saddled with large amounts of debt with no clear path for paying it off.

And the best way to do that is to ensure that no degree will mean that students end up saddled with large amounts of debt with no clear path for paying it off. Then you don't have to steer anything.
