Spot on, I serioulsly don't understand people that are Java developers/front-end developers/technology X devs if you're not talking about you're currently working on, and instead treat that as their profession.
Anyone would think it to be ridiculous if a carpenter told you he only works with saws because he is a saw carpenter and that for other kinds of work you should see the plane or sander carpenter. To me saying you're an [insert tech here] developer sounds the same...

Then you have interior workers like specialized custom cabinet makers, flooring specialist, drywallers, painters, etc. What I'm trying to say here is that even in "carpentry" for putting up a house, there are numerous specialties.
