Engineering as applied to software is completely watered down in practice compared to Professional Engineering as implemented by many states. If a software engineer "signs off" on software design, they have no personal or professional liability in the eyes of the law, or anywhere near the same expectations and professional/ethical oversight that comes with the territory of being a PE. Until a "Software Engineer" can basically look a company in the face and deny a permit to implement or operate a particular stack/implementation, this will not change. And yes, I am fully aware that this software engineer would basically become an "approver of valid automated business process implementations". This would also essentially be a social engineering exploitable position for implementing nepotistic dominion over a business jurisdiction. Hence why I'm not sure it is even a desirable path to go down.
