We have a lot of weird titles in our industry. tbh none of them make a heck of a whole lot of sense. A "developer" is a person who builds residential buildings, "engineers" have to get certifications and they are liable for the work that they do, Architects? lol. I basically just run with it at this point. It's hard to explain to my parents that I can train a CNN to identify them from a video camera and at the same time I might have to spend an hour to get the right look and feel for a button on a web page. On the flip side, I really do wish we had some sort of title/ merit system that made sense to the rest of the world (aside from working for FAANG cos). The technical sophistication of individuals in our industry blows away the capabilities of other industries...
