MBA / Masters in Comp Sci Dual Degree

I'm currently in PE after having worked in banking and am thinking about applying to an MBA program this year. When looking at some MBA programs, I saw that some of the top programs offer combined STEM masters degrees like GSB / Masters in Comp Sci. I studied a non-comp sci STEM in undergrad but think with everything going on in AI today (and I've been interested in learning more programming), it would maybe make sense to at least consider pursuing one of these combined degrees. I'd likely end up trying to return to software PE afterwards but wouldn't be 100% tied to the idea if some startup or something else was more appealing. Curious to get opinions on this? I know it's not really optimizing for cost effectiveness / total income since that'd probably be to just stay in PE and not do an MBA but think this is a situation where the experience is valuable and there's more to life than optimizing income.
