You could make a similar meaningless argument about electronic engineers. Most just solder together ICs, and the IC designers mostly glue together IP blocks. They pay utility companies to provide electricity.
To work at a lower level doesn't mean you're a more advanced engineer, in some ways it means the opposite; working at a higher level usually requires some understanding of what's below.

I fervently wish that "higher level" developers did have some slight clue about what happens when they make a call to lower layers, especially wrt storage since that's what I work on, but I've learned not to rely on them having any such knowledge.
