Not the only reason to be sure, but this is my goto explanation for why software engineering didn't have the same discipline, apprenticeship, professional licensing, S&P, etc of other engineering degrees. The systems we work in are fundamentally unsustainable beyond very limited scales and periods of time compared to other disciplines due to the nature of the medium. If you had these same features in chemistry or civil engineering you wouldn't have nuclear power or the Brooklyn Bridge.
