In essence it's all about getting results, and specialisation might yield better results. Just because people think it sounds cool to call it 'prompt engineering' doesn't mean it's not a specialisation (or optimisation), even if the terminology is based on nothing. I do think that it's not broad or deep enough (right now) to merit a completely separate area of expertise on its own, but it can be too big to fit within the minds and areas of expertise of people who already have their work cut out for them in their existing workdays. Think about most desktop computer users, they really have no clue how the computer works, and even asking them to change a resolution on a mirrored display might be too far removed from their knowledge base (and that is fine). This also applies to tokenisation prompt inputs; it might take too much for someone to simply tack that on to what they already do and know. This is then were we get job postings and those need to be easily identified, so people can search for them, and this is where we get nonsense terms used to distinguish the desired applicants from the pool of work-seeking people.
