Not to be flippant, but don’t your final two paragraphs boil down to : “if you ignore all the non-Linux stuff, everyone is on Linux?”
Also why is that the “arguable subjective definition”? Why are we trying to define “actual engineering” at all, even if subjective?
On what scale are you defining that? Users? Complexity?
Not to be rude, but it feels like “people in a Linux bubble are just reluctant to admit that there’s a wider non-Linux world out there”.
You said “most of the engineering discussed on here” but there’s tons of posts about graphics engineering. It just happens that web/saas is the most approachable end of software engineering. Again, and not trying to be rude, I think this is a case of being too close to the trees to see the forest. Are you perhaps only clicking on the links to subjects that are relevant to your domain knowledge?
