I've primarily writing C++ for over 15 years. I don't think I'd ever heard the term "systems programming" until the last few years when Rust talked about it. I don't have a super formal CS education and most of my career has been in gamedev. What is sytems programming? I don't know. I don't care either. It's an arbitrary label that is rarely used and doesn't affect anyone in any way.
