It looks like the bridge designers defeated the the bridge destroyers - in that case at least.
I DO feel that software engineering is on par with other engineering disciplines - if writing software can be described as "engineering".
The important difference with software is that "the code is the design". The code is not the product.
The manufacturing, building and deployment steps in software are actually quite well understood, and has been mastered by most organizations and individuals.

If we substitute 'some' for 'most' then we're in agreement, unfortunately my experience to date does not give me the confidence required to subscribe to your version, but that could easily be local variation.
