Software is not the first industry to deal with systems complexity or large teams management but (in my part of the world at least) it's the first to expect engineering-like results from non-engineering workers and managers. There are developers who have noticed the similarities between creating/assembling/testing components & modules in other industries and software and borrowed practices before software had a name for them. It's just that these people are dispersed in a sea of devs tuned to Microsoft Framework Factory or busy building castles on Javascript Frameworks Sands.
